Please refer to the handouts and links to help you prepare for writing this essay.Description of the AssignmentThe first paragraph should briefly summarize the main ideas of “The New Literacy.” The summary should take no more than one paragraph (3-4 sentences at most).

Always return to a discussion of the author’s potential effect on his or her audience.In each of your body paragraphs, you must discuss the writer’s use of a specific rhetorical strategy (a technique used in persuasion from the logos, pathos, and ethos list). You’ll discuss 3-4 strategies in all.

Where does the information come from?o Appealing to the opposition: granting validity to the opposition/demonstrating respect for the opposition. An effective writer will clearly and fairly list the arguments of the opposition, without insulting or diminishing them. She or he will point out aspects of the opponent’s arguments that are valid. Effective authors will take pains to show that while they disagree with their opponents, they still respect them.o• Pathos-o Personal testimony occurs when the writer describes an event they have directly experienced. The author’s experiences are intended to be representative of a general tendencyo Illustrative anecdotes- stories the author tells about other peopleo Emotion-laden words and phraseso DescriptionsImportant note: Not all of these strategies will apply to each argument.Conclude by assessing the effectiveness of the article.
