  1. Week 7 Revision

  2. Housekeeping • Remember that the rhetorical appeals are not rhetorical choices

  3. Draft 1.1 • Please bring a completed draft of your rhetorical analysis to class next week • We will be doing peer review in class, which will be a lot of help for reasons that we will see in a bit • For that to work, you must bring your copy of your draft and it must be complete. • Tip: Take a look at the readings for the revision exercises from later in the semester (basically, section 5 in the SMH). These will give you ideas on how to format your paragraphs. • You do not need to start with the introduction. It may be helpful to start with your body paragraphs.

  4. Structure of Draft 1.1 • Introduction • Introduce the article. Briefly discuss the author and summarize the main points of the article. Talk about the audience and purpose. End with the thesis statement • Body paragraphs • In the order that you have each choice listed in your thesis statement. Explain how the author uses the choice to persuade his audience. Make sure that you tie every point back to the audience. Limit the amount of summary here to what is absolutely necessary.

  5. Structure of Draft 1.1 • Conclusion • Restate (in different words) your thesis statement. Briefly reiterate your main points. Talk about the overall effect of the rhetoric. • The first draft should be about 1200 words. • The drafts have a grading weight of 8, making them worth about 13% of your final grade. • When you are revising, make sure that your focus stays on rhetoric, and not content. • Remember to look at slide 10 of the Week 4 notes for how to format your Works Cited.

  6. BA.6: 500-650 words Section 1 Section 2 Discuss the revisions. What revision was done? Did they fix the problems in the first draft? Are they effective? Does more need to be done? If so, what? • Identify some problems with the first draft. • Remember to keep a professional tone at all times. • Treat this as though the writer will see your commentary, with your name attached to it. Be honest, but not harsh.

  7. Let’s practice this Get into groups of two or three and read the first draft.

  8. Evaluating the First Draft • Write down the names of the members of your group. Write down your findings. This will be your free write for today. You might want to keep your own notes as well. • Look at content issues over grammar or mechanics. • Is the thesis statement effective? • Does the draft analyze rhetoric, or summarize content? • Are the points supported adequately?

  9. Evaluating the Revisions • Look at the second draft. • Were the problems from the first draft fixed? • If so, was the revision effective? • If not, was revision attempted? Why was it not effective? • If not, and revision was not attempted, make a note of this. • Did the revision create new problems? • What revision still needs to be done?
