INSTRUCTIONS:
- Remember that this assignment is not asking you to summarize the content of the texts; we are NOT interested in WHAT the author is saying. Rather, we are interested in HOW the author makes their point and WHY the author may have made those choices.
- When brainstorming, be sure to think about both the rhetorical strategies (logic, emotion, authority, evidence, humor, tone, structure, etc.) and the rhetorical situation (author, audience, exigence, constraints, larger context, etc.)
- What similarities there are among the texts in terms of rhetorical strategies and rhetorical situation.
- What interesting differences there are among the texts in terms of rhetorical strategies and rhetorical situation.
