So, we have a timed write today. I want to start out with a a short discussion on strategies and how to write a rhetorical strategies response.

Then, we’ll write one. We’ll have 40 minutes.

After a generous break, I want us to look at 2-3 fellow respondents and note aspects we liked and aspects we would fix.

Finally, I want to look at some of the graded responses and compare them to our own.

Finally-Finally, I’d like small groups to put together a list of take-aways. What would be the most useful advice to give to students taking the rhetorical strategies prompt?

If I have time, I’d love to show you a TED talk with Jill Baynor entitled “My Stroke of Insight.”
