Theoretical Foundations for Reading and Writing Rhetorically

Developed by Mira-Lisa Kratz with Nelson Graff and Nancy Brynelson


          Summary

  • Businesses are now requiring more than a high school diploma, they're looking for college/university degrees and advanced study
  • Not only being familiar with fiction and non-fiction, poetry and drama, but being able to analyze research papers and portfolios for their education and professions
  • Students shouldn't, and won't, just learn about the writing techniques but use themselves and understand why they way they are
  • Understanding the connection between reading and writing as social interaction
  • Inquiring about personal topics to bring out opinions and discussion on current topics
  • Incorporate many different aspects of a subject, to understand that views differ and that there are many ways to communicate a point to listeners and to understand a subject
  • Help students understand what they already know and foster development in sharing knoledge
  • Use a person's strength to their advantage


          Highlights
  • Understand your own strengths and weaknesses
  • Challenge yourself to try new things & refresh abilities to continue advancement for current skills
  • Know what you're reading and why, how it relates to you, your own experiences, etc.
