Rhetorical Strategies
The article I found was called the "Why the Current Education System is Failing Future Generations: A Note From a Teacher". This article had some useful and informative information in it. I believe the thesis is "However, before we go making assumptions about the reasons for this barrier to learning, I have to mention that it has very little to do with the teachers at said schools; it has much more to do with the systematized testing that drowns out organic, curiosity-driven, energetic, and fun learning." I picked this sentence because the author states why the education system is failing. The organizational strategy for this article was listing reasons and then explaining them through out the article. The author separates the reasons into paragraphs. The main point of this article was to talk about why the education system is failing. The stylistic technique used in this article was Parenthesis. The author used it a number of times to help the reader understand what she means.

I liked how you explained your article and how you took quotes from it but next time try and make it easier to read just because i can't tell if you discussed everything from the book or not but good job
ReplyDeleteAlthough i have not read or seen your article I feel like the thesis you chose might not be the thesis. A thesis is usually a short statement, usually one sentence, that summarizes the main point or claim of an essay,etc., and is developed, supported, and explained in the text by means of examples which you say the author did. Maybe i just dont like the fact that first person is involved in the thesis you chose. Im sorry if im coming up as a bit rude but its just my opion. again i have no seen or read your article. Also i think you did not mention all of the rhetorical stages but atleast you turned in something! The rest of the stages are developement, organization, style, and conventions!
