Modes of Rhetoric
Completion requirements
Structure doesn't just stop at a single sentence. We use organizational
structures to determine the best ways to fit sentences together in a
text. Authors choose a mode, rhetoric, or organization scheme that is
most appropriate for their message and place their sentences in that
order. By recognizing these modes of rhetoric, we can see how authors
may revise a text to make it clear to the reader. Review these examples
for ways to organize sentences.
Organizing
Each of these structures allows the author to present ideas in a clear and easy to follow manner. By identifying the correct organizational structure, we can determine how to best add to or revise a text.
