Topic:             

 

My Knowledge of English 101 Concepts.

 

Audience:       

 

EB

 

Purpose:       

 

To prove I know what I should know based upon  the  WPA guidelines bullet points using my own work from class as evidence.

Rhetorical Knowledge

·       Focus on a purpose.

Define:   

 

This means that I have a reason for writing and I can stick with that reason throughout my essay.

Explain: 

 

 It is evident that I know how to focus on a purpose since in my narrative essay my purpose was to entertain and I focused on that throughout the essay.  In my first paragraph I wrote, “…………………..”  This, I think, is entertaining, and that is the reason I wrote the essay.  Later, in paragraph 2 I wrote, “……………..,” and that proves that I am sticking to my goal.  Finally, in my last paragraph I wrote, “…………………,” and from all these examples, it is clear I can focus on a purpose.
