How might Kolbert improve her rhetorical strategies

The Sixth Extinction, An Unnatural history by Elizabeth Kolbert (book) Chapter 1 (Golden Frogs of Panama)

I. Introduction:

A. Use your introduction to establish the rhetorical context and to provide a brief summary of the author’s argument. Remember your ideal audience is not familiar with the text, and so they need you to establish some pertinent facts before they can understand your rhetorical analysis.

B. Thesis Statement/Claim: Make sure your thesis answers these questions: How does the chapter you’ve selected attempt to persuade its audience? What is its overall rhetorical strategy? What is admirable or commendable in the text that you could imitate in your own academic writing? How might you use it in a later paper for either this class or another course that you are taking or are planning to take? Or, if you find the rhetorical strategies in the chapter problematic, what is problematic about them? Also, how might Kolbert improve her rhetorical strategies to address her audience?

II. Body:

Repeat A-C for as many body paragraphs as needed Although the terms we have introduced are important for understanding rhetoric, I am more interested in you demonstrating your understanding of these concepts rather than merely deploying the vocabulary. “Kolbert uses ethos” is a weak argument that doesn’t tell me you understand the concept nor does it tell me how he “uses” ethos. Rather it is better to say something like this: “Early on in the introduction, Kolbert develops her authority as a researcher in order to gain the trust of her audience by…” Rather than focusing your attention on a formula, work on crafting interesting, thoughtful, specific ideas.

How might Kolbert improve her rhetorical strategies to address her audience

Show your understanding of rhetoric by explaining the quality of the author’s persuasive techniques. You do not need to explicitly use terms like ethos, pathos, and logos. Topic sentence w/transition: What will this paragraph discuss?

A. Evidence/Examples:

Provide context for your argument summaries and paraphrases in your own words and sentence structure, as well as some brief, correctly integrated direct quotations.

B. Explanation/Commentary/Analysis:

Explain the example and how it has to do with the author persuading their audience of their thesis/claim. In other words, connect your evidence to your own thesis/claim.

C. Concession/Counter-claim & Rebuttal:

At least one paragraph must provide refutation for an opposing argument against at least one of the main points presented in the body. Often, this can be done within the body paragraph in which a controversial claim is made. III. Conclusion: Examine ideas presented in your essay. Your conclusion should avoid merely restating your thesis. Your conclusion should also answer the question “so what?” Why is what you have told you reader important?

Everyday Use Characters with Louise Mallard

This is an assignment that focuses on the comparison of the Everyday Use Characters with Louise Mallard. The paper also requires reading of previous responses.

The comparison of the Everyday Use Characters with Louise Mallard

Using the outline you created last week, write your comparison essay.

“compare/contrast essay comparing one of the characters in ‘Everyday Use’ with Louise Mallard in Chopin’s “Story of an Hour.”

Firstly, make sure you have read any comments I have returned to you about your outline before writing this essay. This essay will be a minimum of 1500 words.  Your commentary should also be the largest part of your essay, and the concrete detail should be minimal.  A rule to remember is that for every ONE piece of concrete detail, you need THREE sentences MINIMUM of explication.
If you only need part of a sentence as concrete detail, then do not use the whole quote.  Choosing long quotes may add to the word count of an essay, but will result in a lower grade because the essay should be mostly your original thoughts.  Make sure you follow the MLA format.

1. Firstly, review information on MLA format (Links to an external site.), In-text citations (Links to an external site.), Works Cited entries (Links to an external site.).

2. Secondly, view sample essay (Links to an external site.) and sample works cited list.

Comments on Previous work:

1.     For Reader’s Response: Everyday Use: I like that you were able to incorporate quotes from the story in your essay. This will be an important skill as you begin writing your essays in the course. Just check the format for internal citations: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_in_text_citations_the_basics.html

2.     For Reader’s Response: Chrysanthemums: You have incorporated some of the information but are missing many of the required characterizations. Additionally, Remember the Citations issues, as this affects the grade. Refer to the links above and in the previous point and link them in word directly. Remember it is MLA

3.     Comparative Essay Outline: This is really a rough draft rather than an outline. The purpose of an outline is to provide a concise overview of the main ideas of your essay. Also remember you’ll need to use MLA citation to provide internal citations for all quotes/paraphrases and a works cited list at the end of your essay. Your citation is inaccurate and affected your grade.
4.     Don’t forget to refer to the PowerPoints and use the terms in the literary Analysis terms as well as the elements of fiction when doing the comparative essays. Also identify and explain why you consider a character – meaning antagonists and pantagosnist. etc.

5.     Once done, check your paper for syntax errors and grammar mistakes.

6.     Points on Thesis Statements:

Thesis Statement

Lastly, here are some rules for constructing a thesis statement:

1.  The thesis statement is a complete sentence that lets the reader know what the paper will be about.
2. The thesis statement cannot be a question.
3. The thesis statement must be an opinion or an attitude and not just state a fact.
4.  The thesis statement should be the last sentence in the introductory paragraph
5. Lastly, do not state the obvious in the thesis statement. This means DO NOT WRITE:
I am going to write about my reasons for not wanting to move from Florida.

Creative Project Art Creative Writing Performance

This is a Final Assignment – Structures of Difference (15% or 15pts). As discussed within both our lectures and texts, we have come to understand that social categories such as gender, race, class, and sexuality

Final Assignment – Structures of Difference (15% or 15pts)

As discussed within both our lectures and texts, we have come to understand that social categories such as gender, race, class, and sexuality are socially constructed and are therefore understood and employed differently in their respective cultural and historical contexts. Given our ongoing objective in engaging with the historical (and contemporary) trajectory of these configurations, our final assignment will take up the issue of difference both literally as well as figuratively.

Situating difference within the location of its occasion (time, place, etc.), we will be approaching these constructions in a manner that both addresses and contests projects of belonging. That is to say, that rather than exoticizing/fetishizing difference or calling for assimilative identities/communities. There is something for valuing difference AS difference.
In your final assignment, you will be taking this initiative to task by drawing from the ongoing work and assignments that we have completed up until this point.

Thinking about social categories of difference and the power structures that inform/impact them (past and present), you will need to select a concept (listed below) and contemporary artist that engages with your thematic selection in their practice. After selecting both your theme and artist, you will need to select 2-3 artworks that you feel best exemplifies/contests/complicates your chosen concept.

A Substantial Creative Project (Art, Creative Writing, Performance, etc.):

This will need to be accompanied by a 4-5-page critical paper that relates the project back to the concept/artist of your choice (if you elect to go with this option, choosing an artist to inform the project alone will suffice).

Thematic Choices:

–  Sex/Gender Binaries

Regardless of your choice, your final assignment on the visualization of difference will need to utilize and EXPAND ON the concept of your choice, discussing not only HOW it is exemplified in the context of the artist/work that you have selected, but also how it engages with the “cultural order” of difference.

with option two (2), you may elect to include reference photos if appropriate, however, if you are not specifically referencing any artworks, listing the artist alone will suffice.

BOTH options will require that you use at LEAST 3-4 academic/scholarly sources.
