Write a one sentence summary for each paragraph. This means to reword the main points in your own words. This demonstrates your understanding of the speaker’s intended meaning. The best way to do this is to read the lines, cover it up or put it away, retell what you read, and then write it. Then reread the original lines; do your words mean the same thing as the original?

Rhetorical Analysis: When engaging in an academic reading, we must make note of the most significant “moves” the author makes so that we can better understand his/her message and, ultimately, so that we may make those moves in our own writing.

Rhetoric is persuasive speech and writing, and rhetorical strategies are the most noticeable or obvious rhetorical techniques a writer employs. • Fiction/Literature: Literary Devices.
