In preparation for writing my essay and ancillary assignment I read a few of the essays and choose the one I liked the most. Then I went, read, and wrote some notes on the prompt for paper one to make sure I could meet the requirements for the paper. I then went and wrote the grading rubric for the paper, so I could make sure add everything I needed for the paper. After which I went through and reread the essay and then broke it down into small paragraphs and wrote notes on it. From there I went and look at and read each strategies on the rhetorical strategies link on the website. As I read each one I wrote down which one I thought the writer had used in her article. I think the writer, Keri Fisher, used many kinds of strategies. I think the strategy that was used best was how she went to a Doctor and asked questions about her 2 year old son, and other young children, cross dressing. And going to another mother whose son had done the same thing when he was younger. I choose this article because it reminded me of when I was younger growing up with my niece and nephew. My nephew is 2 years younger than me, and my niece is 5 years younger than me. The three of us grew up hanging out with each other everyday, which meant the my nephew was with his mom, sister, aunt and grandma most of the day. But as far as I can remember he has never crossed dressed in any of our clothes.

I choose this article also. It was the most interesting one to me. I didn't even think getting opinions from the doctor or other parents could be a strategy, but now that you mentioned it, i can see how it is a big strategy in this article. Thanks for pointing that out.
ReplyDeleteMegan,
ReplyDeleteWhen you write, "I think the strategy that was used best," I think you can probably refer to this as an "informal poll". That will describe the process in a way that is clear to your readers.
I would like to hear more about other strategies. While you identify an interesting one, there are plenty of others that might be identified and analyzed.
