Meeting Notes
This toolbox is the result of a partnership between high school and community college English faculty working to address the rising rigor of ELA studies in late high school through early college curricula. With the adoption of the SAT, the disconnect between what was being taught and what the placement tests were measuring became apparent. The PASS ELA team saw the opportunity to bridge this gap, and the rhetorical analysis toolbox was created.
Within the toolbox, teachers from late middle school through post-secondary can find assistance with common definitions of rhetorical strategies, examples of assignments and handouts, and placement testing information.
