E.Q: How does examining various texts deepen our understanding of the art and craft of rhetorical analysis?

Steps to writing a rhetorical analysis essay.
Good writing comes from careful reading: read, reread, ask questions, annotate and use a graphic organizer to accomplish your goal of examining a speech.

***Follow the activities in the document to complete this task. Only ORIGINAL responses will receive credit.
Read the speech carefully, and then read it again. Ask some questions, and annotate the speech and make a graphic organizer. Pay close attention to the diction and syntax choices Chisolm made and how they might help her achieve her purpose.

Many of the tools of rhetorical analysis and close reading that we can apply to written text are also useful for detecting how visual texts convey their messages. Like written texts, their purpose is very much connected to their audience. Let's take a look at this advertisement for the Dodge Durango and answer the first impression questions.

Graphic organizer- As a team, carefully reread Shirley’s Chisolm’s speech and complete the graphic organizer based on your observations. What rhetorical strategies does the Congresswoman employ to convey her message? What is the effect of each of those strategies? 

Respond to the questions based on your understanding of the  reading. 

  
Finding evidence: What facts/details really stand out to you?
Why? 


Critiquing Text: 

Did the author provide sufficient evidence
on the subject? Explain.

What is Chisolm's claim? Be sure to provide supporting evidence.

Today, you will take notes on text structure using the "Text Structure Graphic Organizer". Please be sure to use the video and Organizational Patterns Chart to note your ideas.

Notes:
What is Text Structure? Text structure refers to how the information within a written text is organized.
Why is this important? Identifying and analyzing text structure helps students understand that a text might present a main idea and details; a cause and then its effects; and/or different views of a topic.

A text must be structurally sound.
