  1. Week One, Day Two A First Look at Rhetoric or Get Yer Rage Out

  2. Small Groups • In your discourse groups, partner or triad yourselves and answer the following: • Logos, Ethos, Pathos: Which did Brutus use? How? • Logos, Ethos, Pathos: Which did Antony use? How? • Who was most effective? Why? (more on next slide)

  3. More Analytical Questions • Where are the speeches being made? Why? (context) • Who is speaking (writing) and to whom? (audience) • What is the tone of each of the speeches? • Where does the information/proof come from that the speakers draw on? • How did the speaker organize their points? • What is the purpose of each speech? (um…purpose)

  4. Before you actually write rhetoric… • You get to rant. • Yes. • Rant. • Think of something that really ticks you off (loud cellphone users, people who can’t for the life of them structure a MySpace page, old farts who think they’re so hip, drivers who cut you off, the 21 year old drinking age…whatever)

  5. Now • Write.

  6. Now • Stop.

  7. Reread what you wrote • Think back to those ideas we discussed for Brutus and Antony—apply them to your own writing. • Did you already forget them? • Here…

  8. A brief reminder • Why are you writing this (um, not because I told you to…why’d you pick the topic)? (context) • Who is writing (persona) and to whom? (audience) • What is the tone of your polemic (that’s what it’s called)? • Where does the information/proof come from that you drew on? • How did the you organize your points? • What is the purpose of the polemic? (purpose)

  9. Before you go • Homework: find professors in your major--interview them re: discourse rules within subject area. • Next Week: Meet here • Sign attendance sheet (Dr. Toso) • Work with your groups during class time to • A) read final drafts of revised polemics • B) make sure there’s no overlap in professor interviews. • C) actually conduct the interviews • D) respond to polemics on D2L (uh…USE D2L) • E) you can get the rest on D2L!!!!!
