rubric
Intro has hook + context + thesis + 1+ device applied = 4; intro complete no device = 3; 2 of 4 = 2; <2 = 1
Hints
  1. Rhetorical question as hook is highly accessible.
  2. Parallelism in thesis previews 3 reasons memorably.
Misconceptions to watch
  • Forces a device without rhetorical purpose.
  • Skips the hook (jumps to thesis).
