Prewriting Activities

     I decided to use SOAPSTone because it helps me organize my information into neat categories.  It covers the basics of the most important information I will need for my essay.  It will also help me when I write my essay to decide what is important to analyze and discuss.  I used an observation/inference chart because it forced me to look at the pictures and form a list of observations I witnessed in the pictures.  I wrote all the observations I noted and then was obligated to reflect on the relevance of my observations.  These inferences I made will help me when I am writing to discuss what the main point HONY is trying to convey.  It helps me determine why Stanton did what he did and what the effects were of his actions.

  1. It looks like you did a lot of work for this essay! I definitely agree that SOAPSTone gives a good understand of your paper and and an observation and inference chart helps you dive deeper into the material! Good job!

  2. Nice job on your SOAPSTone, I really liked the way you addressed the occasion and the tone. I think it would be beneficial if you added a little more information that relates directly to what you want to focus on for your rhetorical analysis to your observations/inferences chart so that when it comes time for an outline, it will be super easy to know what you want to say and approximately where you want to say it. Really nice work!
