Rhetoric Quiz Today.

Rhetorical Precis review.  Today we looked at examples of Friday's Timed Writing.  Here's an example:

Donald Murray, in his essay, "What to Write--and How--When You Don't Have Time to Write,"  suggests that writing can be improved with practice even if it is practiced in short increments.  Murray supports his claim by offering tips which he reinforces with specific illustrations from his own experiences.  His purpose is to offer advice to help others become better writers.  His tone is helpful and supportive as he encourages aspiring writers.

Don't forget that you should be reading your nonfiction selection.  You will be working on a dialectical journal for your book as well as writing a rhetorical precis.  Your journal will include quotes that show the rhetorical appeals in action.

Don't forget you have Vocabulary List 4 Quiz on Thursday.  Here are the flashcards.
