oral presentation

oral presentation Order Description Direction Select an academically appropriate text of your choice, analyze its rhetorical situation, and present it to the class. Your presentation must have these components in" rel="nofollow">in this order: in" rel="nofollow">introduction, in" rel="nofollow">interpretation, evaluation, and response. What is a Text? A text is broadly defin" rel="nofollow">ined as anythin" rel="nofollow">ing that carries a "hidden message" (or multiple messages) and is open to in" rel="nofollow">interpretation. A text can appear in" rel="nofollow">in many forms and media. Some examples of text are an article, a novel, a short story, a play, a poem, a pain" rel="nofollow">intin" rel="nofollow">ing, a sculpture, a song, a music video, a music album, a TV show, a movie, a film documentary, a documentary photograph, an advertisement, etc. Introduction Introduce, contextualize, and summarize (if applicable) your text. Some basic in" rel="nofollow">information about your text that your in" rel="nofollow">introduction should provide are its title, author, and date of publication. Interpretation To in" rel="nofollow">interpret a text means to determin" rel="nofollow">ine its meanin" rel="nofollow">ing, message, or significance. In order to do this effectively you must consider the rhetorical approach of the writer and the rhetorical situation created by the text. You can ask the followin" rel="nofollow">ing questions to help you in" rel="nofollow">interpret the text. Your in" rel="nofollow">interpretation is by no mean confin" rel="nofollow">ined to these questions alone. You may certain" rel="nofollow">inly ask other questions for in" rel="nofollow">interpretation as long as they are relevant to your text. What is the context of your text? What is the purpose of the text? Who is the in" rel="nofollow">intended audience for the text? What is the message/meanin" rel="nofollow">ing of the text? Evaluation To evaluate a text means to determin" rel="nofollow">ine its quality, value, and effectiveness. As I have said in" rel="nofollow">in class, just because somethin" rel="nofollow">ing is published does not mean it provides credible, reliable in" rel="nofollow">information. Everythin" rel="nofollow">ing and everyone (even the most well-reputed person) should be approached with critical skepticism. You can ask the followin" rel="nofollow">ing questions to help guide your evaluation of your text. Adapt or expand on questions to fit your specific text. Use specific textual evidence to support your answers. What is the author's credibility and/or qualifications relatin" rel="nofollow">ing to the text? What is the tone of the text? In what light is the subject of the text represented? What are some strengths and weaknesses of the text? How well does the text achieve its purpose? Response Give your personal response to the text. You may consider the followin" rel="nofollow">ing questions in" rel="nofollow">in your personal response: Why did you choose this text? What have you learned from analyzin" rel="nofollow">ing this text that you did not know before?
