1.
Pick an
article to analyze for your rhetorical analysis. You will use the same article
for Blog 2 and Paper 2 (rhetorical analysis).
2.
Summarize
the article in 4-5 sentences. Read the chapter assigned on “The Art of
Summarizing” first).
3.
Identify
at least five rhetorical strategies used in the article. (You might find the
handout “Rhetorical Strategies” useful here; it’s in the Rhetorical Analysis
Materials folder in BB). List the strategy, and provide a quote that
demonstrates this strategy. Briefly describe the intended effect of this
strategy on the reader.
4. Explain why you chose this piece. While you have
to remain objective in your analysis (in the paper), you can respond more
subjectively here. Is it the topic that draws you in, the writer’s approach,
the variety of strategies the writer uses? Do you agree or disagree with the
writer’s stance? A little of both?
***When
you comment on other posts (at least 2), feel free to focus on the article as a
whole, its subject matter, the writer’s stance, your peer’s reasoning for
liking/disliking the piece. You don’t necessarily have to respond by discussing
individual strategies someone else is highlighting.
