Impressions from the presentations today:
1. Speed is not your friend when it comes to analysis. One sentence may explain the surface purpose and usage of a device, but it does not go into the upper-level analysis required by AP.
2. Hooks and conclusions are so important to establishing your voice and creating a memorable presentation or essay. A joke or a connection to the color symbolism of pink ingratiates the audience into your text and the eventual strategies.
3. Reference back to the purpose and other sections of the text. Saying "purpose" throughout the presentation without indicating the specific one or referencing the specific one causes a lack of continuity. M & E did this very well throughout their presentation today.
4. Utilize those "mature" rhetorical strategies. While the persuasive appeals, diction, syntax, and tone are excellent sources for analysis, there are more specific strategies that add to your analytical maturity.
