ENC1101--Notes on Rhetoric Assignment. Due August 29, 2023. Assigned August 21, 2023. Late Work is Never Accepted.

Look up the following literary terms. In your binder, handwrite the definition and an example when appropriate (do at least twenty-two each night). Please note that usually assignments are required to be typed; however, because handwriting has been proven to help students remember better, for this assignment, I want you to write your work.If you have trouble finding the definition of any term, skip it and move on. Points will be taken off for mistakes in MLA format. See the link on this website for MLA format, or google MLA format. See rules/expectations for this course for final-naming protocol. See the post entitled "Literary Terms/Rhetorical Terms--Sample Entry" for an example of how to complete this activity. (Enter the search term in the Search box at the top left of this website.)
