Week 4

Complete a rough draft of your Source-Based Essay. This should include a complete rhetorical analysis of your four sources, as well as a general introduction and a “synthesis” section in which you compare the rhetorical elements of your four sources. Post this to blackboard before class time on Monday September 20th.
