            • Avoid "you" and "us"
            • Device is important (so make sure if you refer to the device in the beginning of the paragraph, you stay focused on it throughout the entire paragraph), but be sure you are MORE focused on the EFFECT. HOW does the device develop the purpose?
  • Move to new groups (I'll assign one person to stay in the group and the other two have to move).

            • "What Do I Know?" by Ed Sheeran

            • How balanced is the rhetorical triangle (does ethos weigh heavier than pathos, etc)?
