Today in class we analyzed the methods that Depp uses to blend quoted material into his essay and to set up a conversation between his sources. Our goal is to be able to emulate that style of synthesis in our own writing. Additionally, students picked up handouts on the rhetorical precis, tone words, rhetorical verbs and our next essay which is by Cynthia Ozick. Please find the vocab words for this essay below.
