Rhetorical analysis Self Review
Rhetorical analysis essay review
Find and highlight your thesis in pink or red. Does it address all parts of the prompt? Does it say what the author’s main claim is? Does it make a comment on how the author accomplishes his argument? If not, rewrite it.
Highlight or underline the first rhetorical device you address in a different color. How does the author’s use of that rhetorical device help their argument? If you did not address this, do it now.
Highlight or underline the second rhetorical device you address in a different color. How does the author’s use of that rhetorical device help their argument? If you did not address this, do it now.
Highlight or underline the third rhetorical device you address in a different color. How does the author’s use of that rhetorical device help their argument? If you did not address this, do it now.
After reading my sample essay how do you think your essay compares? How could you have done better? What do you need to do next time to improve? What grade would you have given yourself?

Black Men in Public Spaces Pre-reading
These questions are due tomorrow (Tuesday):
1.Are black men the only ones stereotyped by our society? What other groups are?
2.Have you ever been in a position of suspicion being suspected of wrong-doing just because of your age, race, sex, or ethnicity? Describe the situation, and what you did about it?
3.Is it the young black man's responsibility to let everyone know he is not a threat (wear a cowbell)? If so, how do we let it be known we are not a threat? If not, whose responsibility is it for ending this kind of prejudice?
4.Why would I have you read this essay? (BTW: you should actually ask this about every assignment)
