    In Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning Christina Haas and Linda Flower target experienced and inexperienced readers with the intention of extending the constructive, rhetorical view of reading to share with others, and therefore helping them to become better writers. By studying the thinking strategies of experienced readers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Center for the Study of Writing using a ‘thinking aloud’ method, Haas and Flower were able to see a correlation between strong reading ability and strong writing ability: rooted in comprehension. By thinking aloud readers were forced to use not only what they understood about the text, but also their own personal knowledge to create their own inferences and hypotheses…

    Hi Rachel, I know what you are talking about. When my son was growing up, I remember his excitement when he saw advertisement on TV and he would ask me to buy him something he just saw. There was a commercial about a man chewing two pieces of gum, and after that he always wanted two pieces rather that one. Likewise, often I get ideas of what to buy for my family after I see advertisement online or on TV. I think its super helpful especially when you don’t have a lot of time to shop.…

    In this passage, Richard Louv states that modern Americans still continue to lose what little contact they have with nature as time goes on, and this trend needs to stop. In order to persuade his intended audience, current adults who grew up in his generation, Louv speaks to them on their own terms by using emotional appeals. Specifically, Louv uses rhetorical questions that cause readers to fully reevaluate their stances on the matter, specific diction that evokes strong emotional responses, and anecdotes that most parents or generation X-ers can agree with. Louv’s rhetorical questions truly involve the audience in a meaningful way. It is nearly impossible to change someone’s mind without first asking him or her to evaluate his or her lifestyle from a different angle.…

    shoulders of present and future government, it also has a lot to do with past government officials as well. Kurt Schlichter, a retired army official and professor at an army academy, gives his opinion based on his experience serving our country on the government, and how it effects our obsession with zombies. He goes into detail about how in our history we have had many presidents, like Kennedy, George W. Bush, and now Obama that promise us many things they cannot deliver. These are the some of the most recent presidents, but certainly not all that have done this. He explains that each of them has offered up ideas and proposals that seem to be bullet proof and extraordinary solutions to the problems in our country—yet all of them have fallen short in some way or another.…

    In Maria W. Stewart's lecture in Boston in 1832, she conveys her position on the injustices of slavery and the cruelty that slaves experiences through the use of diction, figurative language, and her own personal experience. Altogether, these create a sense of injustice and desparity for the cause of the African Americans and their freedoms and aspirations to be something more than just servile labor. Diction is a major influence in this lecture. With a variety of words, such as "chains", "ragged", "drudgery and toil", "exhausted", "death", and "cruel", Stewart appeals to the feelings of people in an attempt to make them understand the hardships and extreme injustice that encompass the life of a slave. To continue, there is also another set…

    Before introducing any new material pre-assessment screening must be done in order to “understand students’ prior knowledge on the subject” (Kocsis, 185) so that it will be easier to determine what information needs to provided to the students during the lesson. Once this is done the teacher can plan out student activities that will give them a greater understanding of what they are being taught. These may take the form of whole group, small group, or individual activities and may include student presentations, handouts, or even educational games. At the end of the lesson it is important to “include a form of lesson plan closure” (Kocsis, 190) which often take the form of review activities for the students which give an idea of…
