Week 2: review of terms from rhetoric
or the special language of critical thinking and writing. Here is a link to a Google folder of short slides we will use. Please look at four slides sets before Wednesday 9/9 (Monday is Labor Day: rest up!). You will recognize logos, pathos, ethos terms but we will focus more deeply into classical and modern rhetoric for critical thinking/writing. I am giving you access to the entire folder so you can read ahead if you like.
READINGS: Sets 1-4. This are your assigned slides for skimming. Have a sense of this vocabulary used to improve writing understanding of the rhetorical situation of Audience, Context, Purpose.
OPTIONAL Reading: Skim this Owl Purdue web exhbit plus slides on rhetorical situations. You can see that the words used vary but the ideas are the same.
UPDATED MONDAY: Mp3 sound summary of week one. (I had trouble making GarageBand to convert to MP3 files, the form most easily used across a number of platforms.)

In Wednesday's discussion, we lingered on these two slides:
Slide 5 in Set 1: Rhetorical Triangle of AUDIENCE, CONTEXT, PURPOSE
Slide 9 in Set 2 (Relationships)
We will also look at stasis theory in this 2-slide poster set.
