4. Use Microsoft Word's "Highlight" function (found at the top of the page on the "Home" ribbon, in the "Font" section), and supplement with the "Comment" function (found on the top of the page on the "Review" ribbon) as needed, to mark evidence of the article's: (a) thesis statement, (b) rhetorical strategy and (c) rhetorical perspective. Attach this document to your discussion.
5. Within the discussion itself, discuss your observations and critique the rhetorical strategy and rhetorical perspective used within that article. Describe your understanding of how that article's rhetorical strategy and perspective help (or fail to help) readers to understand that article's premise.
