    AN AP STRATEGY FOR ANALYZING THEMES IN A RHETORICAL TEXT
  • Rhetorical précis

    A less neutral, more analytical condensation of both the content and method of the original text
  • Structure of a Rhetorical Précis

    • Sentence One: Name of the author, genre, and title of work, date of publication in parentheses; a rhetorically active verb; and a THAT clause containing the major assertion or thesis in the text.
    • Sentence Two: An explanation of how the author develops and supports the thesis.
    • Sentence Three: A statement of the author's apparent purpose, followed by an "in order to" phrase.
    • Sentence Four: A description of the intended audience and/or the relationship the author establishes with the audience. Identifies the tone of the piece.
  • A rhetorical strategy is a device that a writer uses to make up the style of their writing; these strategies also help to create meaning. The style of a text contributes to the meaning, purpose, and effect of a text, whether it is written, oral, or visual.
  • When you Google the phrase "Rhetorical Strategies" you will no doubt come across many lists that contain well over a hundred different strategies. But, truthfully the list of strategies that are most often used is A LOT shorter.
  • As you analyze a text DO NOT just hunt for rhetorical devices. Look for strategies that are important and create meaning in the text that wouldn't be present without their use.
