Question:
Choose an article from the Essay 2 Text Options. You will choose ONLY ONE of these texts for your rhetorical analysis. Read the text, taking note of who wrote it, and where and when it was published.
Digitally annotate the text. Though it's often more helpful to physically mark up a text (i.e., with a pencil), because we're online we're going to mark up a text digitally. To complete this assignment, follow these instructions:
Copy and paste the article you're analyzing for Essay 2 into Microsoft Word. (You might need to play around with font size, put in spaces between paragraphs, etc.)
Use the TEXT HIGHLIGHT tool to highlight all the words and names you don't know. Look up the definition online. Double click the word, then click on REVIEW > NEW COMMENT, and type the definition into the comment field.
BOLD the sentences and passages that state the author's intention directly (see pg. 56, under "Strategies for Constructing an Angle of Vision"). Click REVIEW > NEW COMMENT to summarize for yourself what the author's main point is.
UNDERLINE the details that support the author's main point (see pg. 56).
BOLD and CHANGE TO BLUE any words, phrases, or figurative language (metaphors, similes, and analogies) that indicate the author's angle of vision (see pg 57). Click REVIEW > NEW COMMENT to explain more specifically how these words/phrases convey angle of vision.
Read back over what you've marked in the text. Write a 150-word paragraph summarizing the text's "angle of vision," drawing on what you marked as evidence to support your points.
