No matter which home team you find yourself cheering for, it is undeniably true that Tom Brady's half-time speech is loaded with rhetorical choices that are rife with analytical possibilities.
In this writing workshop video, I yet again start with an empty canvas and "Bob Ross" how to construct the entire essay while pulling the strings of my heuristics: there are a number of introductory paragraphs that incorporate the declarative thesis model, a couple of body paragraphs within the syllogistic structure, even some conclusion paragraphs that use a few of our favorite sentence stems.
The transcript of the speech, plus the slides featured in the video, are free for the taking ... just head over to my YouTube channel.
If you have a solid text that is a good fit for a rhetorical analysis paper, please let me know - I'm always looking for new material.
Happy teaching and happy writing!
