Week of Feb 4th

Weds - Reviewing Introduction to Understanding Rhetoric

Fri - Make up Essay #1 Day (Students who were in class 1/30 and wrote essay then are excused from class)

HW due Weds (2/11) of next week: 
  • Understanding Rhetoric - Read Chapter 1 and take 3-5 pages handwritten notes   

A helpful resource on taking study notes.

Still have pages to fill up.  Here are just a few other ways to use them:

  • Predictions:  Before you read, judging only by the title and other obvious material, what do you think the chapter will be about?  Will it connect to something you learned earlier in life (Hs?)? 
  • Personal Examples:  Are there experiences you've had/ seen/ heard where the principles of rhetoric and composition were made clear?  Any that conrtadicted them?
  • Visualizations:  Graphing or charting certain ideas visually can really help one understand them at a deeper level. 
  • Meta-analysis:  What do you think about the WAYS the materials are being presented?
