**ATTENTION 1st/2nd AP/1102 RE: YOUR MAJOR REVISION/REWRITE ASSIGNMENT FOR THIS WEEK**

1st/2nd AP LANG/ENG1102

**AS YOU/WE WORK ON REVISION/EDITING/PROOFING OVER THE NEXT TWO CLASS BLOCKS/NIGHTS, BE PREPARED FOR THE FOLLOWING MAJOR ASSIGNMENT IN CLASS DUE THURS. 1/12:


FOR A FINAL GRADE, you will be REWRITING IN CLASS your ONE CHOSEN/REVISED TTTC EXTENDED PARAGRAPH RHETORICAL ANALYSIS RESPONSE (J#10 in your binder/Journals section) 

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

__MLA heading/last name header in right-hand corner
__BE CONSISTENT WITH FONT TYPE/SIZE, PLEASE!^^^
__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…” AND HOW THIS ELEMENT WORKS WITHIN THE TEXT/UPON THE AUDIENCE (#).
__*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 1st 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!
__**follow all misc. MLA/writing conventions rules and guidelines we've touched on the past few days and will add to over the next week!


**ALSO REMEMBER: I have copies of TTTC in the back of the room for you to grab if needed for revisions/additions/etc. over the next two class days!
