What is going on in class

I am currently studying about Prewriting Tech and Thesis statements.

3 Purposes of writing:

1) Share info - (Charts, graphs)
2)Express Emotion - (diary, telenovla [soap opera] culture)
3)Persuade - rhetoric - (essay/speech).  Seduction through writing/comm.


2 Enemies of Good Unity

P/C - Society/ Culture wants you to follow its unwritten rules (and written!) on how to act and write.

Ethnountnism - the belief that your culture/ethnic group is superior to others. 


If you get info from somewhere and write it in your essay, say where you got it from.


Thesis

T.S. - is an answer to a question.
