Patterns+of+Development

Wiki Assignment

For this assignment, you will create a Wikispace page that helps your classmates get a better sense of the patterns of arrangement that can be used in rhetoric. Though the textbook we are using gives us textual examples (exemplification) of the patterns, we know that arrangements can also be used in other media to persuade us to buy a product or buy into an idea. Find an example of the pattern assigned. Be creative in your search and look in the world in which you live for evidence of these patterns at work. Then put together a Wikispace page or pages with your group in which you present and explain your examples with a discussion of why they work or do not work.

The criteria for this Wiki assignment are as follows:
 * A definition of the pattern of arrangement
 * One example per person in your group
 * An explanation of each example
 * An explanation of why the pattern works (what does it accomplish?)
 * Effective use of visuals to accompany the text
 * A works cited page
 * A list of the group participants
 * Active links
