Rhetorical analysis thesis and organization

By the end you’ll be able to

• Write a thesis that names the writer’s rhetorical choices, or the strategy behind them, and links them to the purpose and the audience
• Organise body paragraphs around the writer’s rhetorical moves, choosing between a chronological structure and a choice-based one
• Avoid thesis failures: a list of devices (“uses ethos, pathos and logos”), a summary of the passage, or a restatement of the prompt
