Lesson Topic
Unit 8- Rhetorical Analysis Essay/Style and Tone
Lesson Outline
We continued parsing Clare Luce's speech to the Washington press corps by identifying her strategic use of tone, diction, and allusion to achieve her purpose of diplomatically criticizing journalists . After we identified the employed techniques, I assisted JP in drafting the first two paragraphs of his rhetorical analysis. We edited his introductory paragraph to limit its scope to the speaker's rhetorical situation -exigence, purpose, and occasion- and then discussed how to weave the specific techniques previously discussed into a second paragraph. I provided model sentences and made word choice comments in order to get JP started as he still encounters challenges in formally verbalizing his ideas. He will complete his writing exercise this evening.
