Today in class we went over a packet. The packet was essentially showing how our group projects are suppose to come together. In the packet their was six sources all of which refer to the prompt. We also see how the prompt was supposed to come together to introduce the topic. In this process we also went over the process of writing a synthesis essay.
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.
