Compile your rhetoric into a creative format & follow the directions on the link to the side
1. Analyze your rhetoric for each of the following parts
Rhetor / Speaker: What is known (race, age, gender, beliefs, class, position)?What position do they take? biases? connection with audience?credibility? authority on which to speak?Persona - how they appear, voice (heroic, strong, determined leader or angry mom) Subject / Topic: Abstract (love, hate, compassion, theories about human nature) Message - concept behind words (human nature is dark if given the opportunity) why is this important? evidence needed Audience: who? (age, race, class, gender, beliefs, prejudices)relationship with the speaker (receptive? resistant?)Purpose / Intent: what the speaker wants the audience to do / think with the information (challenge, to raise awareness, introduce, explore) Context: history - what is / was happening surrounding the rhetoric? consider: political, social, economic, academic, personal, community, state, nation, internationalexigence: the issue / problem that caused the rhetor to speak, write Gere / Delivery: how text is delivered (speech, memo, informal dialogue, diary entry, professional presentation)
Appeals
Which appeals are used and where do you see this in the rhetoric?
2. Write up your brief analyses for each section and put into a creative format. (If you are analyzing slogans from a shoe company, create your responses in the shape of a shoe - for example. The shape or image should convey something about your piece).
3. Decide what you want to share with us about your piece (how you came into contact with the rhetoric - the context - how you or someone else were affected by the rhetoric due to the message). Decide how to deliver this creatively:
- introduce your ideas with an anecdote
- introduce with description
- create images for us to look at and ask questions for us to consider
- speak your rhetoric
