Document Summary
Pay attention to the details of a reading. To identify rhetoric by reading sources through their genre, purpose, advocacy. To decide whether or not an argument is believable or doubtful. Type of writing with certain features, formats, styles. Argument is shaped by the genre (think about the difference between an op-ed and a scholarly article). geo. Argue for a new perspective on an existing issue. Introduce/summarize opposing views, why you think they are faulty. Frame- letting people see what you want them to see. W4 responding to objections & alternate views (ch4) Allows writer to spend considerable time with opposing views. More effective when the audience is totally resistant. Delayed- thesis argument allows you to explore the issue before settling on a position. Focuses on mutual learning and growth, rather than persuasion. Sometimes seen as manipulative, luring audiences to the writer"s position.
