Common Core Standards
Common Core Standards
Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain.
Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text in which the rhetoric is particularly effective, analyzing how style and content contribute to the power, persuasiveness or beauty of the text.
Introduce precise, knowledgeable claim(s), establish the significance of the claim(s), distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, and create an organization that logically sequences claim(s), counterclaims, reasons, and evidence.
Develop claim(s) and counterclaims fairly and thoroughly, supplying the most relevant evidence for each while pointing out the strengths and limitations of both in a manner that anticipates the audience's knowledge level, concerns, values, and possible biases.
Rhetorical Questions
1. What is the central idea of this text?
2. Write a response in which you provide at least two pieces of specific and relevant evidence to analyze how they develop both central ideas including how the central ideas interact and build one another.
3. Explain the writer's purpose in this text.
4. Write a response in which you provide at least two examples of rhetorical strategies and analyze how the writer uses rhetoric to advance their purpose and what makes the use of rhetoric effective.
