COMM 101: Wednesday we will look at the SoU. Bring it with you and also, print out your group blog and bring that too. I don't need a hard copy--this is just for you to have in class. As we analyze the SoU in class I will ask you to refer to your own research on rhetorical figures.

COMM 101: Figures to Identify in SoU (Group Blogs) #2, Due Friday 13th

I want links from every example you find of an assigned figure in the SoU to its definition in Silva Rhetoricae.
You'll have to right-click on the link to the figure and copy the URL from there, you can't just copy it from the web browser address line (because of the way Silva Rhetoricae is set up). So for example, in the case of the figure "abating" if you copied the URL from the web browser address bar you would only have the URL for the whole site:

http://humanities.byu.edu/rhetoric/silva.htm You need to right-click on the link to get the specific URL, which for "abating" would look like this: http://humanities.byu.edu/rhetoric/Figures/A/abating.htm Verify that the name of the figure itself is on the end of the link.

COMM 101: The Adam, Ethan, and Allison Group Blog is off to a nice start as well. I particularly like the way they list the figures at the top of the page. Nice. Plus, they did the links correctly. Also, notice their use of italics to highlight the figure. Well done!
G.7 is also off to a good start. I really like the way they have defined the figures in their own words with examples at the start--that is incredibly helpful.

COMM 101: Check out Scott, Steve, and Nate's Communication Blog to see how to knock out those rhetorical figures (two days early even).
Only one problem: check my instructions on how to do the links again guys. You've linked to the Silva Rhetoricae page but not to the specific figure definition pages.

I've been sick in bed all day today (Sunday). I made the mistake of eating at White Castle late Saturday night. I wanted to respond to some of your blog posts and be available to chat, but I couldn't get out of bed. I should be back to normal tomorrow. See you guys in class.
COMM 101 assignment clarification: Group blogs must be set up by tomorrow, but the analysis of rhetorical figures in the State of the Union is due Wednesday.
