Yes, yes, we know you LOVE working on REHUGO, but the time has come to wrap this project up and put it to use. (Remember, after you’re done, you’ll be required to have it with you — and, ideally, USE it — for every timed writing.) So, without further ado, here are next steps…

Visit the rhetorical analysis starter kit on the blog, review the resources provided on tone words and add a total of 50 tone words that cover every possible tone and situation you can imagine. (Pro tip: Review those released argumentative prompts as you build your list!)

Next , review the lists I’ve provided of rhetorically accurate verbs and find at least 30 – the more the merrier – that will help you upgrade your language on the exam. (Pro tip: Look up the words you don’t know!)

When you’re done, go through the blog and add to your REHUGO absolutely anything you think will help you improve your writing and the quality of your essays as we prepare for the exam. This is totally up to you: what do you think you need and will use?

Then, FORMAT your work so it is clean, legible, organized, and ready to for you to use – quicky – on your timed writings over the next several weeks.

Finally, print and staple or bind your work, and bring it to class for fourth-quarter project grade on April 6 (A Day) or April 7 (B Day).

Remember, this is you working to help you. This project — and the support and help it provides you over the next several weeks of test prop — will be as helpful or as useless as you make it. You know what to do!
