Weeds and Roses Florence Kelley
WOWZA!! • 9- • 8- • 7- • 6- • 5- • 4- • 3- • 2- You should be peeing in your pants with joy! This is a perfect place to be for our 1st attempt!
Weed #1: Make it meaningful • Don’t hold off on analyzing your “best” RS until the end…you might not get there • Be sure to select purposeful elements • anaphora: “they”; “for the” • Conclusions—what the heck is their purpose in this type of essay
Flow chart of last minute madness: • Have you analyzed more than two strategies? • Have you moved chronologically through the essay and have clearly analyzed the end? • Do you have something meaningful to add? • Do you fear you haven’t used enough text? • Are you only on your 1st page? • Have you spent too much time on 1 strategy? Spend several minutes—no more than two!! creating a meaningful conclusion (a sentence or two). Spend the remainder of your time analyzing—you need to spend more time tackling the text, not summarizing it!
Conclusion Ideas: • What impact did this speech have on the future? • What other documents/rhetoricians use similar strategies? • What must the audience have thought?
Weed #2: More text STILL!! • Couple quotes of similar strategies together • This will help you utilize more text • It will help you “get to the end” of the text • It will provide you more to analyze. • TS (RS) CD, CD, CD, CD CM, CM, CM, CM, CM, CM OR TS (RS) CD CM CD CM CD CM Aim for at least three pieces of text per paragraph. If you’re analyzing something pervasive, such as diction or tone, aim for 4-6 pieces of text.
RER: • A bit different! Only a handful of tasks to attend to on your own essay. • So many roses! • Need to refine the ability to analyze. • Due Friday, March 22
