bare bones rhetorical outlike

    1. In this assignment, I’m asking you to fill out the to the best of your ability to help you map out your research essay. Go to the doc > click file > click make a copy to make a copy for yourself.

      The outline does not need to be all fleshed out–it can just be in-depth bullet points that hit the main topics you’ll be discussing in Subclaim and Analysis sections + possible quotes or sources for Evidence sections (it’s a good idea to paste evidence here so you don’t have to look too hard later).

      Know that the more thoroughly you fill this out, the more prepared you’ll likely be when actually writing the paragraphs.

      Remember, your first body paragraph should only cover the first strategy in the thesis statement (so your two pieces of evidence in body one should be two examples of strategy one being used in the text). Your second body paragraph should only cover the second strategy in the thesis statement (so your two pieces of evidence in body two should be two examples of strategy two being used in the text).

      Note: The sentence frames from the outline are there to help you get started–feel free to mess with the sentences to make it make sense to you! Just make sure you’re still hitting all the same points (analysis: strategy, appeal, audience connecting to argument and/or purpose, subclaim, significance: restate strategy, appeals, connect to argument and purpose, mention effectiveness)

    2. Directly following the Outline, you’ll need to create a Works Cited draft.

      The Works Cited draft should include entries for all texts that you will be quoting in this essay
      (There’s only one text you should be using, so it should be easy enough. MLA speech–you can find how to cite that in under Standard Formatting then Works Cited.)

    Remember:
    – What is absolutely necessary for your audience to be aware of/know for context to be able to understand what you’re arguing?
    – Keep it precise. Read out loud to help locate places for clarity & concision.
    – Summary and Analysis are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. Summary tells us what’s up in a quote while analysis shows us why the evidence provided shows helps support the subclaim/argument being argued.
    – No rhetorical questions
    – For paragraphs: 6 sentence minimum, 1 1/2 page MAX

Requirements: no prefrance, as long as it meets the requirement in the directions
