Final Project Outline

 

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.
