Topic: Intro Materials

Close Reading Classroom Poster

The close reading poster helps students evaluate sources and analyze rhetoric by asking them:
•   What claims does the author make? 
•   What evidence does the author use? 
•   What language (words, phrases, images, symbols) does the author use to persuade the document's audience?
•   How does the document's language indicate the author's perspective? 

The file is designed to be printed on 18" by 24" paper.
