10.01 - Annotation and Analysis

Today, people continued with the revisions to their annotations and analysis on their selected speeches for ethos, logos, and rhetorical devices. I continued to meet individually with people to check in on progress, review annotations, and answer questions.

Guidelines for annotations are that they should achieve the following aims:

1 - Identify relevant information in the text (underlining, highlighting, or bracketing information)
2 - Label the approach to the appeal or the rhetorical device that is being used.
3 - Describe how the appeal or rhetorical device is being used by the speaker to make a point.

For additional information on annotations, see Monday's post.

For additional information on analysis and how to use quotes in your analysis, see yesterday's post.

Homework:

Continue to work on the formal analysis of your selected speeches for ethos, logos, and rhetorical devices.

Remember to complete annotation revisions before revisiting your analysis (annotations are the foundation of a strong analysis).
