  12. William A. Colvino and David A. Jolliffe’s“What is Rhetoric?”

  13. What is Rhetoric? • Take a few minutes to write about this text, using your reader’s notebook as a guide. I’d like you to write: • One question about the text that you can share with the class. • Something about the text that was unclear, confusing or dense that you’d like to crowdsource to clarify. Then we’ll all share and discuss what you’ve written.

  14. Is This Rhetoric?

  15. Is This Rhetoric? Take a listen to Aragorn’s speech from The Return of the King. • Is this rhetoric? • If it is rhetoric, how can we apply some of the terms we’ve just discovered to what Aragorn is doing? Let’s try.

  16. Is This Rhetoric? How about this? Or this? Or this famous poster?

  17. Bitzer’sThe Rhetorical Situation • Take a few minutes to write about this text, using your reader’s notebook as a guide. I’d like you to write: • One question about the text that you can share with the class. • Something about the text that was unclear, confusing or dense that you’d like to crowdsource to clarify. Then we’ll all share and discuss what you’ve written.

  18. Rhetorical Situation Scavenger Hunt For the next exercise, I want you to get into groups and explore the Williams Building for rhetorical situations. Here’s what I want you to do: You have ten minutes to explore the halls of Williams and find two texts in two different forms. For the two texts you select, make notes on its rhetorical situation—specifically, its exigence, its potential audiences, and any constraints the text might present. Return in ten minutes and share your findings; if you have images to share too—even better.

  19. Keyword Imaging So we’ve read two texts with lots of keywords and you’ll all be writing your Keyword Essays for Friday. I’d like to begin your work on Weekly Project One by asking you to think about the term in a unique way—I want you to draw an image or a series of images that explain the term you’ve selected for this Weekly Project. The written word is not allowed. You’ll all be given paper and crayons to complete this task. I’ll give you all ten minutes and then I’d like you to briefly present your work to the class.

  20. Project One Group Meeting For the rest of the class, spend some time with your group to begin work on Project One. In particular, I want you to begin a rough draft of your project proposal. The prompt for the proposal can be found on the website under “Assignments.”
