Back to the Strategy Hunt

Meetings are complete, and hopefully inspired you to incorporate stronger strategies, bring in essay structure, and commit to the author from the beginning to the end of your analysis.

For the weekend, close read the Julie section of The Overachievers, noting how the author introduces Julie to us, the ordering of her presentation, and what strategies occur through the reading. This will give you ethos for our Tuesday's class. If absent, go to this link on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Overachievers-Secret-Lives-Driven-Kids/dp/140130902X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1535739356&sr=8-1&keywords=the+overachievers, look at the book cover on the far left side, and click on "Look Inside." Then, scroll down to Chapter 1 and the first section of Julie.

On a side note, at this point, you should have a working knowledge of the basic rhetorical strategies, advanced rhetorical strategies, and modes of discourse. If you are not adding rhetorical strategies to your knowledge base on a daily basis, you will not have the recall to identify patterns when you do close read.
