For both schools, discuss at least two instructional problems likely to result from the type of supervision practiced by the respective principals.

Which appeals does the writer make and which techniques does the writer use to support this type of appeal.

A few notes about how opinion articles differ from speeches in terms of rhetoric:

i) There is less emphasis on oratory techniques like parallelism with tricolon, epiphora and anaphora.

ii) There is more emphasis is on cultural allusions, anecdotes, rhetorical questions, evidence in the form of experts or statistics, comparisons, qualifications and counterarguments, problem solution and cause effect arguments.

iii) You will usually see a paragraph intended to deal with potential objections / counterargument.

iv) There will also often be colloquial language, meant to appeal to the average reader.

iv) At the end of an opinion article, there will often be a call to action.

2) Read the two opinion articles.

3) Copy the text of each article into a Google Doc and annotate both, completing SOAPStone and other notes.

4) Write a 500-700 word rhetorical analysis essay that addresses the following prompt:

Decide which text makes a more successful argument and defend your choice by considering the rhetorical choices that BOTH authors make. You may structure your essay however you wish but make sure you establish an effective line of reasoning.

Disc 8 ac116

EC14 Molina Corporation has paid 60 consecutive quarterly cash dividends (15 years). The last 6 months, however, have been a cash drain on the company, as profit margins have been greatly narrowed by increasing competition. With a cash balance sufficient to meet only day-to-day operating needs, the president, Rob Lowery, has decided that a stock dividend instead of a cash dividend should be declared. He tells Molina’s financial vice president, Debbie Oler, to issue a press release stating that the company is extending its consecutive dividend record with the issuance of a 5% stock dividend. “Write the press release convincing the stockholders that the stock dividend is just as good as a cash dividend,” he orders. “Just watch our stock rise when we announce the stock dividend. It must be a good thing if that happens.”
