GUIDE FOR STRUCTURING ESSAY 2
Introduction (1 paragraph)

Use a hook to get the reader’s attention.
Identify the speaker and title of the TED Talk you are analyzing,
Identify the speaker’s audience, who the speaker is trying to persuade.
Identify the purpose of the TED Talk; in other words, what is the TED Talk trying to persuade the audience to believe, do, or change?
Summarize the thesis of the TED Talk; in other words, what is the speaker’s main point about the topic (the idea the speaker wants the audience to agree with)?
In your thesis statement, identify 3-4 rhetorical strategies you think the speaker uses to try and convince the audience.

Body (3-4 body paragraphs)
Include the following in each body paragraph:

Topic Sentence: State a topic sentence in the body paragraph and identify one rhetorical strategy (persuasive technique) that you think the speaker uses to try and convince the audience. (Refer to the list of rhetorical strategies if you need to.)
Examples: Incorporate examples from the Ted Talk that illustrate the rhetorical strategy (persuasive technique) you stated in your topic sentence. Use quotation marks around any direct quotations that you’ve incorporated from the Ted Talk, and place an in-text citation at the end of the quotations: (speaker’s last name and time where the quotation appears in the Ted Talk). 
Analysis: Explain the intended effect of the rhetorical strategy. To help you develop the analysis, use these questions:

Do you think the speaker intended for the rhetorical strategy to appeal to the audience’s interests, five senses, emotions, values or logic?
How might the rhetorical strategy affect the audience? And why might the strategy make the audience react this way?
How might the rhetorical strategy get the audience to agree with the speaker’s thesis?
How might the audience’s opinions or behavior change as a result of this rhetorical strategy?
