​Midterm Review

​Misconceptions

• Satire: ​The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices.

• ​Satire functions as a means of conveying social commentary and/or criticism on the part of a writer through irony, humor, exaggeration, and other methods. 

​Examples

• The art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques.

• ​Language designed to motivate, persuade, or inform.

​Rhetoric

​Misconceptions

• Irony: The expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

• ​For example, if it were a cold, rainy gray day, you might say, “What a beautiful day!” Or, alternatively, if you were suffering from a bad bout of food poisoning, you might say, “Wow, I feel great today.”

​Examples

• The art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques.

• ​Language designed to motivate, persuade, or inform.

​Rhetoric

​Misconceptions

• Euphemism: This figure of speech substitutes a more pleasing phrase in place of an unpleasant or upsetting one. For example, people often say someone has passed on to indicate they died or, when discussing romantic breakups, they might say the couple parted ways.

​Examples

• The art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques.

• ​Language designed to motivate, persuade, or inform.

​Text Structure Review

• ​Cause & Effect: A cause–effect structure connects events that happen (effects) with why they happen (causes). Words such as because, as a result, therefore, and if . . . then often signal this structure.

• Problem & Solution: ​The problem and solution text structure definition is a format of writing that involves setting up the structure of written text to show different problems and then how the problem is solved.

​Text Structure Review

• ​Description: This type of text structure features a detailed description of something to give the reader a mental picture. Example: A book may tell all about whales or describe what the geography is like in a particular region.

• Chronological Order: ​Chronology is the science of arranging events in their order of occurrence in time. Consider, for example, the use of a timeline or sequence of events. 

• Ex: ​Example: The rehearsal dinner will be on Friday night. Afterward, we are hoping that many of the guests will help to clean the area for tomorrow's wedding. Explanation: In these sentences, the transition "afterward" highlights a chronology of events (first the dinner, then the cleaning).
