Blog Prompt for 9/4

Based on the information you can glean from this website, how do you define rhetoric? You may adopt a version of the definition provided by the writers, but you must have specific reasons for the adoption. Granted that this class has to do with rhetoric and based on the discussions we had last week (and will have this week), how should we take this information into consideration? What did you find helpful about the site? What was unhelpful? Please cite the website at the end of your post using MLA format. If you're unfamiliar with MLA, you can ask me about it, or consult Purdue OWL.

The minimum for this post is 500 words. Because this is much longer than usual, you will receive a quiz grade for this post on completion in addition to the blog post credit. The grade on the quiz, however, is dependent on how well you shore up your argument. Now might be a good time to try out some of the techniques Graff has been talking about.

In your comments, try to focus on making your classmates' arguments stronger by critiquing (with mediating language as always) points of their arguments which might need strengthening.

 καλή τύχη!
