Synopsis
Students often regard the nine classic rhetorical methods as artificial and static, types of writing to study and imitate only in order to meet an academic requirement. Drawing on her expertise in literacy theory and current writing pedagogy, however, Cheryl Glenn takes the time-tested rhetorical reader genre in exciting new directions, revealing how these familiar methods underlie a surprising range of daily discourse -- from restaurant menus to online catalogs to cartoon strips. While including a solid sampling of selections that have long served as excellent models in the classroom, Making Sense offers an adventurous choice of new readings -- many of them visual texts -- to show how the rhetorical methods continue to serve the needs of today's student writers both inside and outside the classroom.
