    AP LANGUAGE & COMPOSITION RHETORICAL PRÉCIS COLUMNIST ASSIGNMENT – FALL 2015 This assignment requires you to read and analyze columns by a single columnist over ten (10) weeks. A list of nationally syndicated columnists from various newspapers and of various ideological leanings is provided below. Select a column within the preceding two weeks of each due date. Make sure you are using a full- length column and not just a blog entry by the columnist. If you are not sure, ask. The focus of your reading should be the writer’s rhetorical style: argumentative appeals and rhetorical strategies used by the columnist to persuade his/her audience. By reading four or five columns, you can see how the writer applies some of the same strategies and techniques to different topics and adapts his/her appeals to his/her subject matter and purpose. You will complete and submit a rhetorical précis for five of the columns – one every other week. You must use the form provided for the rhetorical précis. Due dates: 1. Sept. 11; 2. Sept. 25; 3. Oct. 9; 4. Oct. 23; 5. Nov. 6 You must attach annotated copies of each column along with your rhetorical précis. The evaluation checklist for this assignment is on the back of this page.
