Rhetorical Analysis Thesis/Outline board
Required task
These posts are NOT free-writings and casual notes. They're formed, complete, and good drafts of your ideas.
Step 1: your chosen speech
By now, you've chosen your speech from the given list on the Rhetorical Analysis prompt. I provided a link of two speeches in a word document below
For this post, share 5 sentences (about 150 words or so total) discussing
what speech you chose
why you chose that speech
what you think will be easy to analyze about that speech
what may be hard to discuss about that speech and how you're plan to resolve that difficulty
**Use the board rubric to check your work to ensure it's complete and meeting expectations.** Two Screenshots of rebric upload below to guide you.
Step 2: Your Rhetorical Analysis thesis and outline
In the same message, include your Rhetorical Analysis thesis (with claim and reason), following the sample thesis statements provided in the chapter 4 handout. I have uploaded the chapter 4 handout in the attacchment below.
Include also your 600 word outline for your analysis. Include any source references, but be sure your outline is NOT ONLY source references.
What will you discuss where and how with what evidence?
Follow the outline models provided to you earlier in this module. The outline models is in the last pages of the chapter 4 handout uploaded below.
IMPORTANT, SO IMPORTANT, NOTE TO REMEMBER
The thesis you include on this board is NOT the thesis OF your chosen speech. It's the thesis for YOUR rhetorical analysis OF that speech. There's an important difference between the two.
This outline is NOT the outline OF your chosen speech. It's the outline for YOUR rhetorical analysis OF that speech. Again--that's an important difference to note.
Also: remember to
include the MLA work cited entries for any and all source material used in both paragraphs, including any primary texts
use the board rubric to guide your development and to check you have all the necessary pieces and elements in your paragraphs
