Good morning everyone!
Let's begin by reading at the bell.
Today, you should have a draft of a personal statement.
You'll need a few tabs open:
- Your Writer's Notebook (where your draft should be)
- This view-only document on the Elements of the Rhetorical Framework (you can make yourself a copy if you wish)
- This form that you will be using to evaluate your draft.
Our goal today is to assess our personal statements in relation to the elements of the rhetorical framework.
It's okay if you were not thinking about these elements when you were writing your draft. Today, we'll dig into them a little bit, and you can begin to think about what's successful and what's missing within your own work.
A number of you, at the beginning of the year, asked what we meant by rhetorical. Let's start there.
Rhetoric is how you craft your writing (or speaking) to be meaningful/purposeful, and effective.
To do this, you must think about more than simply writing it down. You must evaluate how you want to present yourself to your readers/listeners.
