Here’s my practice post:

 

  • 1–MLA citation of the source
  • 2–a summary of the source’s content (eight sentences is a good goal)
  • 3–a reflection on that source which includes your opinion of what you’ve read
  • 4–a brief rhetorical analysis (an evaluation of the author’s credentials, writing style, and purpose, and why you think the author is credible or not)
  • 5–a short analysis of why you believe the author chose that genre and why it was a good or bad choice for the intended audience
  • 6–You must include at least one key quote from each source–then explain why you selected it.
