3.8 Adding rhetorical elements to our body paragraphs

You are well on your way to writing impactful academic argument essays. In this step of the refining process, revisit rhetorical strategies, and add or enhance your use of rhetoric to your essay.

Remember, Rhetorical devices are linguistic tools that use sentence structure, sound, or meaning patterns to evoke a specific response from an audience. They can be used to construct an argument or make an existing argument more compelling.  To identify rhetorical devices in an argumentative essay, you can ask yourself questions about the author's purpose, tone, and evidence: Purpose What is the author's purpose? Are they focusing on key claims or discussing multiple topics?

Tone What tone is the author using? Are they trying to evoke sympathy or anger? Are they writing from a personal perspective or as an authority?

Evidence What kinds of evidence are presented? Are the claims the writer is making valid or problematic? Is the evidence convincing?

For this assignment, submit:

1. A body paragraph that has been intentionally revised to add or enhance the use of rhetorical strategies.

2. A 3-5 sentence explanation of how you used rhetorical strategies to enhance your body paragraph including an explanation of how you think these changes will impact the reader.

3. This assignment should be in APA format, so it should have a cover page, reference page, and correct internal APA citations.

Grading: This assignment will be graded for completion, and you will receive full credit if you fully complete each of the three elements. Additionally, you will receive feedback on your use of rhetorical devices.

Writing a Thesis Statement

REMEMBER: The thesis statement is the answer to your research question.

Directions: Make a copy of this document by going to “file” and “make a copy”. Retitle the document to include your last name. Fill out the boxes below and submit this to Canvas.

YOUR TURN: Fill out the chart below to prepare to write your thesis statement.

Each minor claim should be DISTINCT enough to write at least one body paragraph without repeating ideas AND should support your major claim.

In the box below, write your thesis statement in 1-2 clear and concise sentences. This thesis statement will be the LAST sentence(s) in your introduction paragraph.

Grading:

It is critical that you have a strong thesis statement before you begin writing. Therefore, if your thesis statement needs revision, I will send it back to you with feedback to be revised. Once your thesis statement is “approved”, you will receive 10 points for this assignment.

Remember, In all your writing, your voice matters. Proofread for errors, and NEVER use sentence correctors, modifiers, or suggested rewrites in editing programs like Grammerly.

These take away from your voice and put you at risk of AI plagiarism.
