Rhetoric & Composition: Class 6 Assignments
STUDY: You will have your active reading test on Wednesday.
READ: 1. Read this article about annotation from Mortimer Adler. Find it here.
2. It is my expectation that you will be done with Reluctant Fundamentalist by next week.or
WRITE: One form of writing crucial to rhetoric is critical analysis. Criticisms are one of the most unbiquitous forms of writing in popular media. I try to model good critical analysis writng through the personal writing I post to our blog. You will begin doing some of this style of writing on your own. To begin, you will write about some visual images. For now, I want you to get used to getting an overall impression from a work and then expressing that impression in one general sweep...one broad brush-stroke. To do this, study the piece thoughtfully. Consider its purpose, tone and audience. Be honest with yourself and don't try to pretend to be an art critic. Be you. Capture the fullness of your own voice. Then, simply, write one sentence that sums up the way you feel about it -- your overall impression. You will leave your single sentence as a comment under the post of the piece you have chosen. Due by class on Wednesday.
