Today in class we went over the steps to complete the second part of our group projects. The second part of our project is finding sources. You must reach the EBSCO database. The first step is to narrow our topic. Next, set the date of the results to 2011-21. After completing this step you should scan over at least 6 results. Then you must read the abstract , and click on the pdf.
Today in class we learned about rhetorical devices. The first one we discussed was hyperbole, which is an exaggeration. The second was understatement. An understatement is the force of a descriptive statement that is less than what one would normally expect. Third we went over litotes, which are an emphasis on a point by using a word opposite to the condition. Fourth we learned antithesis, this makes use of a contrast in language to bring out a contrast in ideals. Lastly we were introduced to hypophora which is asking a question then proceeding to answer it.
