The Five Fold Way of Rhetoric (English 15 Style)

  • Agents and Actions: Is there an Agent and an Action in every sentence? ( Proper Use of Active and Passive Voice)
  • Old Information to New: Does each sentence move from old information to new? (Information Flow)
  • Does the author argue for a consistent thesis? (Enthymeme)
  • Does the argument consider, develop and respond to counter-arguments? (Responding to Audience, Inhabiting a Persona)
  • Has the author worked with an editor to revise spelling, grammar, medium and format? (Process)
