Building with Burkean Terms
The Burkean Parlor
- Gather what others are saying
- Piece together an understanding of the topic
- Listen to others before giving your say
After you know what others say, identify their main ideas
- This requires interaction rather than passively scanning a text
The Burkean Pentad
- Agent: A who or what that performs an act
- Act: What an agent performs
- Agency: How an act is carried out
- Scene: The setting or environment in which the previous three function
- Purpose: The reasons giving rise to the act
- Compare to Journalistic questions
- Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How

- This can assist with retaining information and help with recall
R

main ideas or stand out passages
- Reflect on how the text has affected your own views on a topic.
- How has your knowledge changed or progressed?
- Create an outline of the main and supporting ideas
- In writing, you will need to summarize content, and an outline can help tremendously
- If reading an argument, where do agree or disagree with the author?
R
Relate
- Connect to your own experiences and prior knowledge
- You may not have experienced something yourself, but you can place yourself in the shoes of another and imagine yourself in experiencing life as someone else
