Due by the class period on Monday, April 5th
Post your responses to the following in your own blog, and be ready to share your responses during our upcoming class meetings.
- Find an artifact that you could use in your Critical Essay #2 and identify its pentadic elements. Then conduct a brief pentadic analysis (ratios, dominant element, etc); use the textbook reading on the steps of performing a pentadic analysis.
*This is just a preliminary analysis. Just identify the pentadic elements, run the ratio analysis, and find the dominant term. Then a write a paragraph (or more, if you want) about the possible implications of your findings/observations (about the elements, ratios, dominant element, etc).
2. Make sure to incorporate relevant media — embedding videos, providing links to the artifacts, or images, etc — into your posting.
3. As part of this posting, I’ll also ask you now to make sure you have determined your artifact and method of analysis for Critical Essay #2. What is your selected artifact? Provide some background information about its rhetorical situation: rhetor, message/argument/text, audience, purpose, context. What is your selected method to analyze the artifact? Why did you choose this artifact, and how is the method appropriate to analyze it?
