Rhetoric and Rhetorical Analysis Lecture recorded 1/25/22

This is a combination of a sped-up lecture on rhetorical analysis/rhetoric in general and writing essays using the Toulmin Method (including a specific thesis statement model that I recommend my students use in class).

[@subiedrift2360]

how would you write the thesis without using the word "i"?

[@the_professor_g7914]

You could simply take out the "I argue that" piece. You could say "I argue that dogs are the best pets" OR you could simply say "dogs are the best pets." Does this make sense? :)
