Assignment Details
The final draft of your essay in this unit will discuss how the use of rhetorical appeals determines the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the argument made by the author/speaker you chose to analyze. Did the author/speaker effectively or ineffectively deliver the article/speech? The answer to this question becomes the THESIS STATEMENT.
Outline your plan for proving your thesis statement (the effectiveness or the ineffectiveness of the author/speaker). Use some of the information you provided in Unit 2.3 – Assignment: A First Look at Rhetorical Analysis.
- Write a clear, concise thesis statement
- Using this TEMPLATE, develop a formal outline that includes topic sentences and outlined body paragraph content
- Fill in the parts of the template indicated.
- Include a Work Cited (on its own page) with the work cited entry for the source you selected. The work cited entry is the entire entry provided on the list of sources page, not just the web address. Copy the entry starting with the author’s last name and ending with the URL. Paste it to the last page of your document and format it correctly by starting the first line of the entry at the left margin and indenting the additional lines with a hanging indent.
- As no other sources can be used for this essay, the page should be titled Work Cited (“Works” with an “s” indicates more than one entry).
- Revise and edit to ensure clear, concise writing
