MSU Writing MOOC: Thinking Like a Writer Module 4

Welcome to Module 4: Revising Thinking. Whether we realize it or not, we use rhetoric every single day. In this module, we ask that you build on what you learned in module 2, and revise that knowledge to suit a new rhetorical situation. In the end, you will create a brand new persuasive paper. First, you’ll practice revision skills by reviewing the work your ‘Thinking Like a Writer’ peers created in Module 2. By recognizing and analyzing rhetorical situations and identifying language groups and communities, you’ll be prepared to draft a new persuasive paper. The ‘Thinking Like a Writer’ instructors are huge advocates of the revision process and we think this module—which builds upon the skills you’ve acquired so far—is the best conclusion to our eight weeks together!
