The reading begins with discussing rhetorical situations. All writing is
connected so on must make good choices with their rhetorical situations. A
rhetorical situation is the full set of circumstances surrounding any
communication. The rhetorical situation is often composed of three crucial
elements, such as text, audience, and communicator, which all surround the
context. The text includes your topic and message you want to convey. As a
communicator, this involves your purpose, stance or attitude toward the text.
The context shapes all three of these elements.
The second portion of the
reading centers on critical reading as well as analyzing arguments. The first
step to critical reading is to preview the text to consider the context,
author, subject, genre, and design before going in depth. Then as read the text
for the first time annotate it or take notes. The point is to get everything
you can from the first reading. Once you have read the text and feel you
understood it, try to summarize the contents in your own words. Critical
reading ends with further analyzing of the text by asking questions. To analyze
an argument is to think critically of the argument. When thinking critically of
an argument, recognize the cultural contexts and identify the argument’s basic
appeals. These basic appeals include emotional, ethical, and logical appeals. Break
the argument down and analyze its individual elements.
