  1. Drill 4/17/2014 • On a scale of 1-10, how comfortable do you feel with your completed introduction? Explain why. • Do you feel prepared to write your body paragraphs? If not, what do you STILL NEED TO DO to be ready to move on with your work? • What do you think are the components of a strong body paragraph?

  2. Agenda and Homework Agenda: Mini Lesson on Rhetorical Strategies Label R.S. in Student Essay Craft One Body Paragraph Using Rhetorical Strategies Homework: Finish first body paragraph if didn’t have time in class.

  3. Rhetorical Strategies • State FACTS that help prove your point • Ask RHETORICAL QUESTIONS to make the reader think about your point • Offer COMPARISONS that reveal the problem within your topic • State STATISTICS that help prove your point • DEFINE A TERM and GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF THAT TERM to help your reader fully understand it. • QUOTE AN AUTHORITY on your subject. • Acknowledge the Opposition and Refute It

  4. Defining Rhetorical Strategies • Fact: a piece of information verifiable from observation or experience • Rhetorical Question: a question asked solely for effect and not to elicit a reply, as “What is so rare as a day in June?” • Comparisons: an estimate of similarities and/or differences between two things • Statistics: numerical data • Define a complex term and give an example of that term to help your reader fully understand it. • Quote an authority on your subject. • Opposition: the idea or opinion that is opposite from your own. Refute: to prove the opposition false or incorrect. To disprove one’s claim from the opposite side of your own.

  5. Learning Targets • I can provide clear context for my quote by explaining who is speaking, who was behind the research study, who conducted the poll of people and where, or why the person speaking is an expert on the topic. • I can fluidly and seamlessly transition into my quote by placing my quote in the middle of my own words. • In my analysis after the quote, I can use rhetorical strategies to extend beyond the main points to draw a conclusion or inference that is implied by the points offered. • (In other words, my analysis will show inference and interpretation rather than summary).
