Essay Assignment: My view

       The next homework assignment is to describe the upcoming Rhetorical Analysis Essay in our own words. So first step, I read the essay instructions provided to us by our teacher. It didn't take much reading for it to become clear what the assignment was asking us to do. So, step two I will try to explain the assignment in my own words.

       The Rhetorical Analysis Essay will challenge us to use everything have learned from day one, all the way up to mid-term. That’s when the assignment is due, mid-term week. We are to choose an essay or article that we have not yet used in class and analyze it for proper writing techniques. Then take the thesis and show why it was, or was not, supported properly by good writing techniques. Basically we will be arguing against the thesis showing that they did not use effective, supporting evidence.

       One of the best tools for people to learn how to improve their writing skills is to analyze someone else’s paper. I have always found it easier to critique someone else’s work than my own; my mind tends not to wander as much. During our analysis of the article we are supposed to add a works cited page to this assignment. This is the first time it has been a requirement of the assignment. This will let the audience know where we got the information from, and keep us from plagiarizing.

       This should be an interesting assignment.
