Getting Ready for Unit 2: Memoir & Personal Essay as Rhetoric

As you know, on Monday you'll write a rhetorical analysis (question 2) essay in class.

But here's what I forgot to say in class today: the in-class essay will mark the end of the "Introduction to Rhetorical Analysis Unit". We'll then begin "Unit 2: Memoir & personal essay as argument". To get ready for this unit you should know what memoirs and personal essays are (click here) and you should read these quotations bout memoirs. (For each quotation take notes: Do you agree with the quotation? Explain. Do you disagree with the quotation? Explain. Would you revise or modify the quotation? How?)

If you do the above this weekend you'll have less to do Monday night.
