• Benchmark - Rhetorical Analysis of a Public Document Final Draft (or Rhetorical Analysis Essay) (Due Sunday by 11:59 pm AZ Time) 

For those who submitted your first draft of the Rhetorical Analysis, use the following checklist to prepare:

1. After the instructor has assigned your first draft essay a grade, go to the "Gradebook" and locate your first draft to review the comments section of that assignment. Focus on the following:

• Watch the video demo example that goes over a successful Rhetorical Analysis essay: https://www.loom.com/share/36189cce3e26435ab2cb76d213c7e8ee **This is also provided in the first purple bubble in your first draft Rhetorical Analysis' LopesWrite (Similarity Score) Report and in the DQ forums
  
• Visit my written instructor feedback on your LopesWrite (Similarity Score) report found in the Halo gradebook. Click each arrow in the purple bubble on the right to review each of my comments from top to bottom. To learn more, follow the instructions listed below: View Instructor Feedback Halo Gradebook_ LopesWrite Report.docx
  
• Review your classmate's peer review (if one is available). If someone completed a peer review of your essay, you may request a copy from them in the Halo Messages. If you did not get one from a classmate, you can bypass this step. Keep in mind your peer reviewer is a learner; therefore, you do not need to implement everything recommended by him or her.

2. Lastly, revise your first draft Rhetorical Analysis Essay according to the instructor's recommendations. Afterward, submit your essay through LopesWrite in the essay assignment link. After your score is generated and it’s below 20%, click the final submit button.

1. Follow the updated instructions for Topic 2's first draft @ https://pettyeng105.weebly.com/rhetorical-analysis-essay-instructions.html
2. The essay requires that you have 750-1000 words (not including the references page), and 5 paragraphs (1 intro, 3 body paragraphs, and 1 conclusion). It requires the use of a 3rd-person narrative and the APA 7th Ed. Style Guide and Template (remove subsection titles): https://www.gcumedia.com/lms-resources/student-success-center/v3.1/#/tools/writing-center/12/30/1404.
3. Choose either the CDC's, "What is ADHD" OR the FBI's, "Cyber Crime" webpage located in the Acknowledgment from Topic 1 DQ1 and/or in my post in Topic 2 DQ1 this week.
4. Focus on analyzing whether you thought the ethos, pathos, and logos were used effectively or not on that webpage.
5. Source requirements:
   1. The first source should be the CDC, “What is ADHD” webpage OR the FBI’s, “Cyber Crime” webpage, depending upon the topic you chose.
   2. Then choose 1 or more additional web pages from your CDC or FBI website about ADHD or Cyber Crime, depending upon what you chose.

For example, if a student were to choose the CDC's, "What is ADHD" webpage to evaluate, he or she might use that webpage and choose the Treatment and/or Symptoms webpage hosted on the CDC website about ADHD.
