During Phase 2, you will learn more about reading texts for what they “do,” summarizing texts, and analyzing texts for their rhetorical features. Among other small assignments, you will complete the second major writing assignment of our course, the Rhetorical Analysis Essay.
Note: you should have access to all readings & all assignments every class (in print or on your laptop/phone). This is because we’ll likely refer back to previous assignments/readings.
