9.5

1. Review the Rhetorical Analysis assignment prompt. Basically, the rhetorical analysis is an essay doing exactly what you've done all week!  We will continue talking about this and formatting and citation styles next week.

2. Create a blog and post your first response. You do not need to comment on anybody else's blog just yet. To create a blogger account (the ideal hosting site for this class) check out this power point which explains how to do so. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-h7QQPixx8rTjBqRVpVb1BvLW8/edit?usp=docslist_api

Once you create your blog, comment on the "Student Blogs" page with your blogger URL. You should also complete the first blog repsonse. The prompt for Blog Post #1 is also available on the "Student Blog" page for your convenience. 

3. Search the library database for an article to read for the rhetorical analysis. This should be an academic article from a scholarly journal rather than a news article or magazine editorial. You are free to sift through the articles on the "Bibliography" page. Once you find an article/essay that you think you can perform a rhetorical analysis on, read it through and begin noting the different rhetorical techniques  you believe are present.
