Rhetoric

I.  Today we start with a video.

Audience + Purpose + Genre = Style (how it looks) and Content (what it says)

Apply this to p. 14 Bedford?


II. Now we look at your examples.

In your daybook, create a chart for each of the terms in the "equation" and your direction examples that you brought to class, like this:

MP3 Player:
Audience-
Purpose-
Genre-
Style-
Content-
Effectiveness:

After filling in your chart, think about the effectiveness of each of your examples. What specific choices in style and content work or do not work?

 The first writing project: directions. I hand out green sheets, you choose Legos.


Homework:

1. Read the green handouts, both sides. Questions?

2. Write up a draft set of directions for someone to build your Lego object. Be ready to type them during class tomorrow.

3. TWFTD: rhetoric.

4. No typo that I know of.
