Monday's class will be about your first drafts and a few items that you can do to edit your essays to a higher level. Tuesday's class will be the official review day, an review that was shared with you on Friday.
To give you a picture of the final, here are the components for evaluation.
1. A grammar edit of a paragraph. For this this grammar work, you will only make corrections to better the writing.
2. A punctuation edit for a paragraph. For this punctuation work, you will add and delete punctuation marks.
3. Given a broad topic, you will construct 1-2 paragraph writings for descriptive, narrative, and compare/contrast writing. For instance, on a former final, the topic was vacations. To prepare for this portion of the final, review the components of each writing style so that you can write about the same topic in three different modes.
4. Rhetorical terms. This will include the knowledge of the six rhetorical strategies that we studied in class (tone, diction, syntax, logos, ethos, pathos) and the differentiation of syntax types.
5. You will be given a text and will perform a rhetorical analysis that is not longer than 3 paragraphs.
6. You will define and construct examples of the six stages of argumentation (claim, evidence, warrant, counterclaim, rebuttal, conclusion).
7. For the same text from number 5, you will write a summary.
As you can see, you do not have to write an essay, but you will be utilizing all of the writing techniques to construct paragraphs that represent your understanding of the class.
