AP LANG. RHETORICAL ANALYSIS Ext. Paras. QUICK REVISION REFERENCE LIST:
 
**REMEMBER FIRST ALWAYS: IDENTIFY THE AUDIENCE AND PURPOSE OF YOUR ASSIGNMENT!**
 

__MLA heading/last name header in right-hand corner

__TITLE: TTTC “Name of Chapter”

__ONE extended paragraph; 8-12 sentences

__Keep PV to minimal use ('70-30' rule)

__Have a 2-3 sentence intro to ‘hook’ readers, THEN introduce the ONE rhetorical element (**or two/see me for details**) you are going to explore/explain—BE EXPLICIT and actually “SAY IT”:  “Through O’Brien’s logical appeal to the audience, he….” and “…his tone appeals to the audience’s sense of emotions through…”

__*MLA-style format for quotes w/titles and commas: For example, in “Spin,”...

__USE THIRD PERSON OBJECTIVE or--and see me w/this--you can SOMETIMES get away with 1^st person PLURAL (‘we’)

__CONCLUDE your ext. para. w/a referral back to the rhetorical element(s) you have explained; DO NOT FALL INTO THE ‘ABYSS of INCOHERENCE’ as you end your analysis!
