Be sure to include specific examples of each element of rhetorical context in each essay. Audience: incoming freshmen who will be starting ENC1101 next semester. This audience can be considered mostly informal. Genre: closed form prose. 2-3 pages handwritten. References not needed. 1st person writing is necessary.

7. Group Activity 1 : Final Exam Practice
Working in small groups of your choosing
Create a detailed outline based on the example prompt we just discussed
This outline should include: a thesis, introduction strategy, and forecasting
Additionally, each student should find one example of each rhetorical context element in their own essays and quote it here. (You may do this part on separate sheets of paper and staple it together. For this part of the assignment, only one example each is necessary. However, for the final exam you should have one example for each essay).

8. Group Activity 2: Second Draft Peer Review
Pair up with one other student with whom you did not work on Tuesday. Exchange your drafts and answer the following questions?
Does the essay’s introduction grab the readers’ interest and present the topic in an interesting way? What strategy does it use to do this?
What is the writer’s thesis? Take this word for word from the essay you analyze. Is the thesis original, clear, and strongly stated?
How is the writer’s stance related to the other articles on the topic? Is the writer’s stance different enough to be considered original?
How does the author use ethos, pathos, and logos to support their claims? Find one example of each.
