  1. English 1301 day 6 SECTION 4/5

  2. What do you think of articles? Which one do you like most and why? • Do you like the content? Or tone? Or something else?

  3. Now, what are purposes and audiences of three articles (Jaschik, Budiansky, and Rosenberg)??

  4. What does it mean by “how it works”? • Your job is not to explain what a quote means. • For instance, when you quote statistic, you’re not going to explain what the statistic depicts; rather, how having the statistic influences on the audience and allows the author to achieve the purpose. • Your focus needs to be on the function of a rhetorical choice.

  5. How to find rhetorical choices and their significances • When you find a rhetorical choice in an article you need to ask why authors uses such a rhetorical choice. • Imagine if it is NOT there; what kind of difference does it make? • After imagining the absence of a rhetorical device, you should be able to recognize its effect. • How does it work? • What kind of effect does it produce (especially to the reader)? • Remember, a rhetorical choice is always intentional. It is deployed to produce a particular effect on the reader’s interpretation.

  8. When to quote, summarize, paraphrase (see STM Ch.13) • When do we quote? • You need to consider whether the exact wording is significant for your analysis. i.e particular diction or metaphor. You also do not want to quote an anecdote since it becomes way too length. • When do we paraphrase? • You need to consider whether it is an idea/a manner of presentation you need to emphasize. i.e. for instance, you cannot quote the structure of an article nor can you quote satire (unless there is an appropriate line). In these cases, you paraphrase rather than quote. • When do we summarize? • For this course, English 1301, you use summary to make your point clear. It usually works if you provide a summary as contextual information for your audience to understand in what context an author uses a rhetorical choice you are about to discuss.

  9. How to quote and etc. • When you paraphrase or quote, you always need to CITE. • You need to provide in-text citation at the end of the sentence in which you quote/paraphrase. i.e. (Diamond 556) • Use accurate verbs and synonyms. • Does he depict? suggest? state?...don’t always rely on “write” or “tell”
