Review Presentations

Content:

• Include the author, the title, the context, and the purpose of the argument. SOAPSTone might not be a bad approach to take here.
• Include the three dominant rhetorical strategies. Offer examples of each and connect them to the author's purpose. Talk like a TEP.
• Consider how you might use this text on the Lang exam. What argumentative prompts might this text fit?

Presentation:

• The presentation may be casual but it must be rehearsed. 
• Use note cards instead of binder paper. 
• Don't write your presentation out verbatim
