21. Practice (Chart on p. 9)
Imagine you are about to write a review for a movie you either love (or hate). Use SOAPS to think through the rhetorical situation of your hypothetical movie review. Be prepared to share. SUBJECT = what will your review be about? OCCASION = what caused you to write this review? AUDIENCE = who do you want to read your review? PURPOSE = what do you want you audience to do as a result of reading your review? SPEAKER = you’re the speaker, but what qualifies you to write this review?

22. Argumentative Essay Prompt
“Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.” – Maya Angelou
In a well-organized essay (4-5 paragraphs), examine the extent to which Angelou’s claim about the danger of prejudice is true or relevant today. Support your argument with reasonable, valid claims and appropriate examples from your reading, observations, or experience.
***prejudice = hating something based on ignorance
*renders = makes
**inaccessible = unreachable, unable to get to

23. Writing Portfolios Thesis answers prompt (POV)
Strengths
Weaknesses
Thesis answers prompt (POV)
Body paragraphs are organized w/ topic sentences and usually elaborated
Relevant, unique evidence
Precise language
Grammar, punctuation, etc.
The best essays (7-9) examined the prompt using a narrow focus and using evidence to articulate claims
Not enough specific commentary
Your informal tone (No contractions, slang, questions, calling her “Maya”)
Simplistic transitions (“In conclusion,” etc.)
Different forms of “Prejudice”
Prejudism and prejudices are NOT real words
Prejudice (singular or plural noun)
People are prejudiced
Ideas or comments are prejudicial
Prejudice is NOT A PROPER NOUN – keep it lowercase unless it’s starting a sentence

24. Practice (Chart on p. 9)
Imagine you are about to write a review for a movie you either love (or hate). Use SOAPS to think through the rhetorical situation of your hypothetical movie review. Be prepared to share.
Example: Ms. Heitmann chooses Pulp Fiction
Subject: (my main reasons why I love the movie)
Occasion: I was assigned to critique a movie
Audience: people who have not seen the movie
Purpose: to get people to watch the movie
Speaker: I have seen the movie multiple times and know Tarantino’s entire body of work
