Annotation Assignment Requirements: The typed or handwritten response MUST be turned in the day of the quiz. If not turned in on that day, immediately after the quiz, you will receive half credit. Read and annotate the passage. Type or handwrite the summary: Write and define any words you do not know. There are always complex words in the passage. Don’t skip this. Write a 4-sentence rhetorical precis. Use your rhetorical precis rubric as a guide to ensure you include each component of the precis. The goal is to capture the SOAPSTone or rhetorical situation of the passage and ensure a quality understanding. After the precis, write down what you feel are the three most prominent strategies the author uses to develop his/her argument. Then, choose one of the three strategies to write a rhetorical analysis-like paragraph. Remember to cite evidence of where the strategy occurs and explain how it is used to help develop the author’s main argument. These can be any strategies that the author uses – you are not limited.

Meet with the groups from yesterday Take your stuff with you – get out your compare and contrast essays that you each wrote for homework – 2 minutes. Take 3 minutes to share your essays with your peers. Make sure each member has a copy or can at least see your copy. You will have 30 minutes total time to review each other’s essays (group of 3 – 10 minutes per person OR group of 4 – about 8 minutes per person). Review one group member’s work at a time like we did last time. Give each group member your full attention and effort. On the next slide, I have provided some guiding questions to help you give constructive feedback to each other. Use these questions to help improve the essays.

Questions to guide revision Is the claim the writer is trying to make clear? Is it explicit or implied? Is it effective? How could it be improved if it’s not particularly effective? Review the qualities of the three professional essays that used compare and contrast as a mode. Does the writer utilize these qualities in their essay? If not, what needs to be added or removed? Is compare and contrast the primary mode in the essay? Does the mode of compare and contrast effectively and fully support the claim being made? How could it be improved to make it more impactful? Do the items being compared and contrasted need more detail? If so, what should the writer add? Could it be written more concisely? If so, what should the writer remove? Where does the author’s main claim occur? Would it be more effective if moved to the beginning or end of the essay? Would it be more impactful if it was implied or explicit? Are there any grammatical, punctuational, or structural errors that distract the reader? If so, what are they? Help the writer understand the error and how it can ALWAYS be avoided from now on. Does the writer avoid 2nd person point of view (you)?

Summary of Peer Discussions Rather than having you revise this essay and turn in a new version, I’d like you to do a quick write explaining to me what you would change about your essay and what you thought you did particularly well. Open Google Classroom and go to the assignment titled: Quick Write – a summary of what I did well and what I need to improve upon in my compare and contrast essay. You have 5 minutes to write 1-2 paragraphs expressing how you improve upon your narration essay and also what you felt you did well with and would not change. Submit at the end of the 5 minutes if you are finished, if not, finish it on your own and submit.
