Resources:


  • Evaluate
    Judge or determine the significance, worth, or quality of something. See Assess
  • Evidence
    Empirical data or other sources of support (e.g., mathematical proofs) for a claim; may be selected, presented, and evaluated differently by different audiences and in different subject areas according to the norms of disciplinary literacy. See Text Types and Purposes for Argument.
  • Point of view
    In the study of literary texts, the vantage point from which a story is told: for example, in the first-person point of view, the story is told by one of the characters, while in the third-person point of view, the story is told by someone outside the story. More broadly, point of view can refer to any position or perspective conveyed or represented by an author, narrator, speaker, or character.
  • Rhetoric
    The study and practice of effective communication; often associated with language or images intended to persuade or otherwise influence an audience. There are three classical rhetorical strategies:
  • Tone
    Expression of a writer’s or speaker’s attitude toward a subject. Unlike mood, which is intended to shape the audience’s emotional response, tone reflects the feelings of a text’s author. Tone can be serious, humorous, sarcastic, playful, ironic, bitter, or objective. See Style.
