Final Presentation

What I learned!Rhetorical Analysis!Fool Proof writing Guide.

Read these next two slides in a cheesy

infomercial voice!!!

Do you ever feel that, as a college student your life revolves around writing papers?! Ever wish there was a fool-proof checklist or guideline to go by? Well thanks to Mrs. Laura Cline now there is!!

WOW!!

1. This PowerPoint will walk you through the rhetorical analysis style of writing!

2. Are you saying to yourself:

“Rhetorical analysis?! What’s that?? I don’t write that style of papers!!”

3. All papers seem to stem from this style of writing because of the need for a strong thesis.

4. So sit back, relax, grab a snack and prepare to have your stressful paper writing days behind you!!

Well that my friend is

where you are mistaken!!

Cheesy infomercial voice CONTINUED!!!

Rhetorical Analysis is…

Ask what is the purpose or problem? And what is your proposal or solution?

Have a point you want to make about the text, then provide evidence from text to support your argument.

Thesis begins with what you believe in a text. Then take out "I believe" and this makes an effective argument.

THESIS DRIVEN!!!!

Is this an effective stance or not??? 

Effectiveness- Look at the tone, is it appropriate for the audience? Is it logical? Is it providing a solution? Does it provide sufficient evidence? 

You have found the purpose and wrote your thesis, now ask yourself:

Who does writer want to be listening to this argument? Does he do a good job of addressing those people?  

Remember audience and who your writing for!

Don't assume audience knows what your talking about. Assumptions make argument less effective.

Now you have your stance and tone but are you addressing your audience correctly?

Logos-use facts, statistics, text should be logical.

Pathos-emotional appeal.

Ethos-ethical appeal, credibility of the writer.

*A way to make your argument more effective is to use:

Use tone, audience, purpose, and context all from text itself to show why it's effective or ineffective to support points!

Wrapping it uppp….

Remember who's your audience!!

What's your purpose?

And what's the context?

For a great final product that is simple to write just remember these steps:
