2. Me As Thomas Jefferson…
The Ugly…
Still talking to “you”!!! This was a letter to Thomas Jefferson! Am I Thomas Jefferson??
No, I am not.
“In this essay, IT talks about…” NO!! Just NO!!
Still leaving claims unsupported and evidence unexplained.
You’re identifying rhetorical devices, but not explaining why they are effective or persuasive.
Me As Thomas Jefferson…

3. The Bad…
