Look at All Those Strategies!

4: After copying down our latest vocabulary words from Unit 12, we reassembled into groups for peer and instructor feedback regarding your "Story of an Hour" paragraphs. Then, we returned back to The Outliers, your writing prompt text, and the beginning of our tips and highlights regarding rhetorical analysis. Going through the saga of the Rosetans, we picked up on a plethora of strategies - sometimes even combined together! With a mix of "big ticket" strategies that would incline the grader to give you a higher base value and "safe" strategies to guarantee success, we noted how to start with your strongest strategy, the one with most evidence, the one that you are brimming with an abundance of analysis, the one that looks fairly fancy, you are starting off impressing your reader and managing to incorporate its significance no matter if you run out of time or not. We are only partially through that power point, so hope you are ready to write down all those tips and start applying those ideas and suggestions to your writing.
