Revisions/Refinements/Finish Project

SOME TAKEAWAYS FROM SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR DRAFTS

• Hook/Intro:  Give your rhetoric EXIGENCY!  When framing the problem, consider connecting your piece to something current happening in the world.
• Organization: If you are struggling with structuring your writing, I HIGHLY recommend using a version of the suggested structure on the outlining/planning document
• Rhetorical Artistry:  Think about how you are using Aristotelian Appeals to make your argument more convincing.  Remember that the purpose of Rogerian rhetoric is NOT to remain neutral.  It is to communicate effectively on difficult topics in a way that recognizes the values of your audience. You are still trying to build a convincing argument!
• Conclusion:  You should end up in a place where you are suggesting a possible solution, resolution, or at least an area for further dialogue and compromise.  (If you are struggling with a title, think about how this piece might feed an inviting title)
• Do you need more feedback?  Organize yourselves to support each other!  Get a proofread or several!
• Where are you with your visual component?
• Review the RUBRIC

Exhibition Prep!
Get project ready for exhibition!

What does a polished display look like for your project?

• Writing mounted on black paper
• Project has an interesting or clever title, centered and bold, with your name underneath it
• Images arranged aesthetically
• If your project needs tech, please arrange to bring a computer and headphones for your audience to view it on.

When you submit to me for grading:

All pieces of project!  (This includes the earlier parts if you have not already submitted them.  The personal essay and research notes will be counted down for lateness at this point, but they are not worth zero!)

Bibliography for project should include citations for all of your sources, including your interviews. EASYBIB.COM

• Nazario, Sonia. “To Help a Dreamer, Why Do We Have to Hurt Her Cousin?” The New York Times, The New York Times, 27 Oct. 2017, www.nytimes.com/2017/10/27/opinion/sunday/dreamers-children-immigration-congress.html
