Remediation for VLT#2 Writing

Presentation transcript:

Critical Thinking You will have three minutes to try to figure out the scenario in which the following situation existed. No talking.

The Problem Although the following scenario may seem unlikely, the scenario given is realistic and has actually happened. The clues can all be taken at face value, although that's not to say their implications can't be misleading. I will give you the result with possible clues, and you will give me the scenario in which this took place.

The Result A man is lying dead in a room with scuba gear on. There is a large pile of gold and jewels on the floor, a chandelier attached to the ceiling, and a large open window.

The Scenario This happened in a 1998 after authorities were able to find but unable to retrieve a sunken ship for which they had been searching for years. The room is the ballroom of an ocean liner which sank some time ago. The man ran out of air while diving in the wreck.

Goals for the Day I can improve my understanding of how to best write a rhetorical analysis essay.

Vocabulary Week 15 The last vocabulary quiz of the semester will be this Friday. Words from weeks 1-15 are fair game.

How to better present information Criticizing diction - He uses word and phrases like poor gentlemen, imposters, pretenders, barbarous, delirious, chimerical titles, and nonsense to describe false humour. This makes the reader have a negative connotation to false humour and its lies. Addison uses diction that is critical of writers he feels don’t write humour well. He claims that these “poor” writers are “imposters,” “pretenders,” and even “delirious,” which belittles the efforts of these writers and makes anyone who writes humour the way he prescribes look better by comparison. The “nonsense” of these “barbarous” writers can’t possibly compare to the “wit” and “good sense” of someone who bases their humor in “truth.”

Deconstructing the Prompt

Descriptive Outlining

Tasks for the day: Work through the activities that deal with eulogies in rhetorical analysis prompts. Deconstruct the prompts to determine exactly what you should be doing in each essay. Conduct multiple annotations to help you prepare/outline your rhetorical analysis essay. First annotate for understanding (what does the text say), then annotate for strategies (how does the text work), then annotate a last time considering why the author uses each strategy (what does the text mean). Use the “Descriptive Outlining” graphic organizer to help you understand what’s happening in the text – then write a thesis and outline for your essay. Complete work you may not have completed (including quizzes and tests) that could help you better understand the process. Speak with me individually about how you scored your essay vs. how I scored your essay. Discuss rhetorical analysis questions with peers and ask me any questions you still have.

Homework Write a rhetorical analysis paragraph or two discussing the primary rhetorical strategy that Margaret Thatcher uses to develop convey her message as she eulogizes Ronald Reagan. Make up any missing assignments you may have. If you’re trying to get your grade up, you need to be aiming to do so NOW! Last vocabulary quiz (#15) on Friday.
