SAMPLE 1
Hello class,
After reviewing my rhetorical analysis essay using the provided checklist, I have identified several strengths and areas for improvement. One of the main strengths I discovered is the clear structure of my essay. The introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion are well-defined, adhering to the guidelines. I believe my introduction provides sufficient background on ADHD and the CDC's role in educating the public about it. Conversely, the thesis statement at the end of the introduction clearly outlines the main ideas of the essay, stating that I will analyze the CDC's use of ethos, pathos, and logos to argue for its effectiveness in communicating ADHD information.
Another strength is the credible sources I have used to support my arguments. The essay includes specific examples from the CDC webpage and cited scholarly sources to support my points. For instance, I referenced studies on ADHD prevalence and included quotes from the CDC website to illustrate their use of different rhetorical strategies. Moreover, I believe I have maintained a formal tone appropriate for an academic essay and also demonstrated awareness of my audience by explaining technical terms and concepts related to both ADHD and rhetorical analysis.
However, there are aspects of my essay that need improvement. While I have cited sources in-text, I need to double-check that all quoted, paraphrased, and summarized material have corresponding references on the reference page. I also need to review my grammar and punctuation carefully, as I noticed a few minor errors during this revision process. Additionally, I could strengthen my essay by providing more specific examples of how the CDC uses pathos in its communication. While I mention that they describe challenges faced by those with ADHD, I could delve deeper into how this evokes empathy in readers. This process has been invaluable in identifying both the strengths of my essay and areas where I can improve to create a more polished final draft.
