  •  
    After reviewing the six simple steps for active reading, I felt that it covered all the potential issues that may arise when reading.By incorporating note taking and highlighting when possible it involves the reader more fully than just skimming through. Credibility only questionable due to no other citations other than the .org in the url.

Pre-writing Techniques - 0 views

  •  
    I was suprised to find this information where I did. I found it on a college website and the subject I was looking for was right at the top. In addition it takes you through the whole pre-writing process, starting with directed questioning to get you going. It then moves on to freewriting to get some of your ideas on paper, followed by brainstorming which could be incorporated into the freewriting process. This was a short but very helpful listing for the pre-writing process.

    I liked the no nonsense easy to read format that this was presented in.From the beginning it starts by asking the reviewer to slightly change their mindset in order to do an accurate revision. It gave various examples as to how various life situations can affect your ablility to do an honest revision, even if it means that you have to rewrite certain sections which you previously thought were ok. It pretty much gives you the dos' and don'ts of revising so in the end you will have a accurate and thorough document

Reviewing Papers - 0 views

    I enjoyed the way this article was laid out. It takes the potential reviewer through a series of questions that can be used to properly review an article that has been written.It also poses various senarios in which the reviewer can be biased and do an inaccurate reveiw of the material. It uses the senario of being blind so that a fair review can be completed. I believe that this is a credible site due to it being from an educational institution and it has the "edu" in the url.

Audience and the Rhetorical Situation | Rhetorica - 0 views

  •  
    After reading this post,I found it rather enlightening. Initally when I thought of an audience, the dialogue was one sided. The speaker would attempt to get their point across while at the same time, keeping their audience captive with what they were saying. Allissa Quart seems to convey this message rather clearly and gives good pointers as to how to accomplish this.The article was written in May of 2008 and the authors credentials are unknown. Apparently rather fluent in journalism due to the writing prose.

Legal Definition of 'Exigent Circumstances' - 0 views

  •  
    The reason that I chose this particular article was due to the fact I was beginning to have issues finding the word exigency linked to Rhetorical Situation. This site does however explain the word and in turn it can then be used properly in context with a rhetorical situation. If you dont know what it means, then you can't use it.
