Essay #4: Rhetorical Analysis of a TEDTalk
$27.50by EssayShark TutorsEnglish 1A
Essay #4: Rhetorical Analysis of a TEDTalk
PART 1:
Go to http://www.ted.com/ Choose one TED Talk that is either 12 or 18 minutes long. Note that there is a huge range of topics to choose from: technology, entertainment, design, business, science, global issues, medical, psychology, art, leadership, and much, much more.
PART 2:
Complete a CTA (close textual analysis) of the talk, in which you
- explicate portions of the text thoroughly (close textual reading),
- cite textual evidence to support your claims, making clear connections between your argument and the text you are referring to (analysis).
Many things go on simultaneously in a text. Tone, diction, syntax, argumentation, and theme all develop at once, and the reader is constantly being supplied with clues for reading these developments. Such textual events happen to the reader; they are the elements of the text that help develop meaning for the reader. (See questions below.)
- Choose a short passage of the TEDTalk:Â about 50-100 words. Copy/paste the passage or retype it.
- Then, following the model, split the text into at least 10-20 sections, number the items (words, phrases, whole sentences, groups of sentences, etc.) to which you want to refer.
- Write a response in which you analyze the different sections of the textual event you identified. Work through the text in order, referring to your numbers. Be specific; do NOT merely write “develops tone,” but EXPLAIN WHY (ANALYZE) you made the particular notation and that event’s effect on the reader. Avoid paraphrasing (summarizing) the text. I will not give you credit for the assignment if you do not analyze the text. You should use the questions on the following page to help you along.
Part 3:
Write a 3-5 page well-structured essay that provides a rhetorical analysis of the TEDTalk of your choice. This will give you a chance to practice using all of the terminology from the first half of the semester and to display your ability to read actively.
- Provide a summary of the talk.
- Analyze 1-2 aspects of the writer’s rhetorical choices:
- APPEALS: Analyze the writer’s appeal to his/her audience. How does the writer display an appeal to ethos, pathos and logos? Are these appeals utilized in a balanced manner? Are the appeals effective? Provide specific reference to the talk.
- STRUCTURE: Analyze the writer’s structure. Does the writer utilize the classical structure? (Introduction/Exordium, Narration, Confirmation, Refutation, Conclusion/Peroration). If not, where does the writer deviate? How does this affect the writer’s argument? Provide specific reference to the talk.
- TONE: What is the writer’s tone? How does this affect the writer’s argument? (See below for questions to help guide your analysis.)
- STYLISTIC CHOICES: Analyze the writer’s style. Does the writer rely on figures of speech? Provide specific examples. How does the writer’s style affect his/her argument? (See below for questions to help guide your analysis.)
