Writing a Rhetorical precis (again)

• We will look at sources E and F together.
• You will then take the remainder of class to read the remaining articles and annotate if needed (C, D, G, and H)
• When you are finished you will choose your "strongest" article and complete a rhetorical precis on that source--turn it in before you leave today.

Note: If you feel like the period is coming to an end and you will not finish reading, take the last ten minutes to write your precis on an article you have completed and finish the rest at home.
