First Hour Presentations

A few quick impressions from first hour:

• The presentations exhibit how much all of you are learning about rhetorical analysis. You are starting to use upper level strategy terms, analyze beyond the surface, and incorporating specific evidence.
• Impressive work by C & A in first hour -- their presentation was full of so many strategies and they gave thorough analysis for each one. Plus, all of those citations and examples! Overall, they brought a strong voice, a focused development of purpose and strategy, and an original perspective to the text.
• The best presenters may have had notes with their main points, but they did not read the information verbatim. The additional thoughts and observations that naturally arise during a presentation reveal so much ethos and comprehension on your part!
