The Presentation

- Use the proper presentation conventions:
- introduce yourself, practice, have digital materials loaded before presentation time, and end clearly with a 'thank you.'
- Although you are expected to show all three compositions, focus on unveiling your 'main' composition and explaining your rhetorical choices for it to the class.
Practicing Rhetorical Rationales
- Identify the genre the composition could be classified under
- Discuss what rhetorical strategies are being used to compel the audience
- Was this composition successful in reaching its intended audience? How?
