Here are the rules of the game:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Read the article many times most carefully.<\/li>\n
  2. Write a pr\u00e9cis of the article in which you state the entire argument and present the logical progression (the development) of the argument.<\/li>\n
  3.  Reduce the article to one-fifth to one-quarter of its original length and omit nothing from the essential argument. This is, in reality, the key to the whole enterprise!<\/li>\n
  4. Type the pr\u00e9cis and begin with your abstraction of the central, thesis, or informing idea of the article. Having understood and written the central idea, present the essential argument in as cogent manner as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    (Clue<\/strong>: Once you have assimilated the article through the illustrations and examples the writer uses to make their abstract ideas concrete; you do not have to include these in your pr\u00e9cis!)<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Here is a central rule:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Do not copy a single sentence from the article.  You may use key words and phrases only when you are expressing ideas which are technically precise or when you feel comfortable using the writer’s own words, i.e., you understand exactly what the writer means, and there is really no better way to express the concept.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Finally, in order to complete this assignment, you will have to read the work most carefully, ask questions about the work repeatedly, and reach into your own experiences so that you can shape most cogently the writer’s concepts!<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      This assignment is not easy!<\/strong> <\/span>When you have completed it well, you will never, never forget the argument, the examples, and the development of the article. More than likely you will also be learning that, when you write research papers and other critical papers, your ability to write the pr\u00e9cis is central to the basics of analysis, synthesis, comparison, and other key, higher order thinking skills absolutely required for your success in college and in the profession or career you have chosen when you graduate.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Author Strategies:<\/em>  Which conversations and\/or controversies is the author engaging?  What rhetorical theory or argument is the author proposing and\/or advocating?  To what ends or to what type of intervention (political, critical, theoretical) is the author seeking?  What is the significance and\/or implications of this research?  How does this work affect future work or your understanding of rhetorical theory?<\/li>\n
          • Your Evaluation:<\/em> <\/span>Do you feel this essay is well founded?  Does this essay succeed in accomplishing its tasks?  Does it adequately engage in related academic conversations?  Does it adequately explain its rhetorical methodology\/theory?  Are the thesis and arguments well supported and well explained?  Is it academically provocative and productive? <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n
