Readings for the week: skim. Develop a vocabulary for thinking/writing
- Really good overview here by a communication professional
- Student quiz-card set that you might appreciate (kinesthetic appeal, for one)
- Forest of Rhetoric approach at BYU that student-above "riffs off" (search here)
- Two slide sets
- San Jose State (Hawker)
- Michigan State
Option: You could see if OWL at Purdue includes rhetoric resources.
Next: another frame of classical rhetoric is stasis theory. Owl DOES take this on. Read here, to start. This four-page PDF is a good overview of stasis theory and relies on UMD English professor emerita Jeanne Fahnestock's work (my mentor). Author? Grant-Davy, English professor at Utah State.
I use stasis theory with environmental scientists: preview here (one slide).
Today, we will look at these terms (three proofs, five canons (slide 4 of 12)) in two ways:
- to analyze this class journal post
- to preview our definition memo about rain gardens
