Topic: Choose an argumentative essay that resonates most with you. You can use the linked essay below or choose a different one (your professor must approve the argument essay beforehand). Keep in mind some of the strategies we covered this week on rhetorical analysis.
(Linked essay: “Why do people spread false information online? The effects of message and viewer characteristics on self-reported likelihood of sharing social media disinformation” )
Prompt: Review the resource videos on paraphrasing, intros and conclusions, and body paragraph development first. Then write a Rhetorical Analysis Essay that analyzes the argumentative essay you chose above.
Your main questions to consider while writing are: Who is the intended audience of the essay? Is the essay effective? Is this essay credible? What is the article missing? How credible is the author? To better answer these questions, be sure to find the following:
Who is the author, and why is this important?
When was the essay written, and why is this important?
What claim is the author making?
What kind of claim is the author making (fact, value, or policy)? How does the author support this claim?
What is the warrant (evidence) that connects the claim and the support?
Start with a strong introduction that leads to an argument statement. Was the essay credible? Why or why not? In the body of your essay, be sure each topic sentence supports your thesis. Point to specific areas of the essay to support your points. Don’t forget to remind the reader of your thesis statement before moving to the next paragraph. Finally, be sure to end with a concluding paragraph. Here, you could talk about any holes you found in the essay. What could the author have left out or added to the essay to make it more persuasive?
