As a university student, I must be able to follow the in-depth process of synthesizing information, analyzing data, summarizing elements, and evaluating quality (SASE) such as the case of studying an advertisement about a controversial issue based

“rhetorical device” a cringe automatically forms on their faces. They can sometimes seem annoying, confusing, and even unnecessary; however rhetorical devices are crucial to writing. Without rhetorical devices authors would find it hard to convey their purpose, tone, and voice; but with rhetorical devices these essential pieces of writing become simple to understand. Dave Barry’s essay, Lost in the Kitchen is a perfect example of how authors use rhetorical devices to achieve their goals. Throughout the

Using nonfiction text requires appropriate implementation strategies. Children need explicit instruction in identifying unique features to nonfiction text, such as print features, table of contents, index, and graphic aides (Moehlman, 2013). Close reading of nonfiction text is an approach to help students critically read increasingly complex texts across the curriculum by exploring deep structures of the text.

As the first five weeks of Writing 39B have passed, I believe that I have made some improvements in my writing as a result of the feedback from the professor, the multiple writing assignments, and reading the Anteater’s Guide to Writing and Rhetoric.

English Comp I have taught me a great deal. This subject has helped improve on some writing skills that I never payed attention too as I began my writing career in middle school. I have improved in a major way in several subjects that can impact a person’s writing in a dramatic way. Evidence from three of my EN113 papers this semester provides evidence that suggest that I have succeeded in improving on my organizational skills, identifying grammar issues, and elaborating and describing events in

Growing up my writing was decent nothing spectacular, until I reached high school I realized my writing sucked.

The piece still remains the most raw form of writing I have been able to incorporate through the CCT sans the use of flashy, and intense literary devices.
