3. Groups and outlines…
Rhetorical Knowledge
◦Focus on a purpose
Define:
To focus on a purpose means to stay on task and
topic throughout my essay while driving my point home to a particular audience.
Explain:
In my C/C essay, my purpose was to compare MCD and
BK. In that essay I wrote, in the first
paragraph, that MCD had “great fries, while BK’s fries are soggy or burnt.” Later, in another paragraph I wrote that MCD
had “clean restrooms, but at BK, the restrooms are disgusting.”
Conclude:
Since I was
able to stay on topic during both of my paragraphs in my essay, it is plain to
see that I know how to focus on a purpose.
