DIRECTIONS As a basis for your work in this exercise, choose one of the following three essays from Reader’s Choice: “I Love Montreal . . . But We Need to Talk,” on pages 227–229 Be sure to edit carefully the paragraphs you compose for questions 2, 3, and 4. 2. Note topic, purpose, and main idea for the essay you have chosen. Then, considering these points and using the map or outline you produced for Question 1, write a summary of the essay. The paragraph should be no more than 200 words. 3. Identify the primary rhetorical mode the writer uses to develop the essay. Using the appropriate study file card(s) for guidance, discuss in paragraph form how you determined this mode to be dominant, and use examples from the essay to illustrate the mode. Briefly discuss how the mode is appropriate to the topic at hand. 4. Find examples in the essay of two other rhetorical modes used in conjunction with the central one. For each, identify which mode it demonstrates and quote the relevant example. Explain how you determined which mode each example demonstrated and how the use of this mode helps to develop and support the ideas presented in the essay and how it helps to further the author’s purpose. 5. Demonstrate your understanding of strategies for generating ideas by doing the following: a. Write a reaction you had to the essay you read. b. Beginning from the reaction statement or question you wrote for part “a” of this question, use one of the strategies for generating ideas (refer to card 19) as a pre-writing step. Let this beginning idea lead you in as many directions as possible. Follow tangents and make associations. Raise questions. Write out memories. Whichever of the five methods you use, you should strive here to generate a lot of material without worrying right now about where it is taking you. c. Reread your answer to “b” above and look for something that is of interest to you. Formulate a main idea statement that could serve as the focus of an essay. d. Now pretend that you are indeed going to write an essay on the main idea you stated in “c” above. Again using an idea generating method, but this time staying with this main idea, come up with as many developmental points, examples, and details as you can that might be used in writing an essay with this main idea. You do not have to actually write the essay nor organize the material you generateat this time. Just pursue this idea and come up with as much material as you can. I will upload the article and the outline I have made later. Also, I will upload other instruction later I need three references that can demonstrate the primary rhetorical mode and two other rhetorical modes used in conjunction with the central one.
