JFK Paper

Please do questions 1-4 and 1-9 on pages 55-6 of the TLC book. Due Monday November 4th.

If you feel like you've been cornobbled by this JFK assignment and are lost in a collieshangie with rhetorical devices, remember to step back, take a breath, and reacquaint yourself with the purpose you are dealing with in each paragraph/section. Focus on how he attempts to fulfill each purpose using rhetorical strategies. Remember that rhetorical strategies can include such things as diction and syntax, appeals (both classical and various, i.e. patriotism, pride, compassion, etc.), choice of detail, figurative language, imagery, organization, etc.

Remember the rhetorical situation: speaker, occasion, audience, purpose(s) as well.

We're in the lab Tuesday (11/5) and Wednesday (11/6) at least. Remember the prompt is on page 57 of the book.

Here's the speech file if you need a clean copy.

Hmmm, wouldn't cornobbled and collieshangie be great words to add to a vocabulary test?
