AP LANG. RHETORICAL ANALYSIS Ext. Paras. QUICK REFERENCE LIST:
**for next week and as you REVISE your TTTC draft to turn in**  

**REMEMBER FIRST ALWAYS: IDENTIFY THE AUDIENCE AND PURPOSE OF YOUR ASSIGNMENT!**
 

__MLA heading and last name 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…”

__Use AT LEAST one example/BLENDED “quote” from the text to show your findings and HOW this works; i.e., “O’Brien’s use of negative diction and word choice…” (#).

__*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’) 

__KEEP THE TENSE RE: LITERATURE PRESENT: “Kiowa’s experiences transform him…." (not ‘TRANSFORM‘ED’…”)

__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!
