I thought this would be a quicker way to distribute the workshopping prompts. Here's what I plan on asking my students. Feel free to modify to suit your needs.
1) What is the text you've chosen about?
2) What does the text you've chosen want you to think/feel/believe when you have finished it?
3) Find 3 examples of individual words that the author uses to manipulate the reader so that the desired effect is achieved. Explain how those words do what you claim they do.
4) Find 2 examples of sentences that the author uses to manipulate the reader so that the desired effect is achieved. Explain how those sentences do what you claim they do.
5) Find 3 examples of images or ideas or examples that the author uses to manipulate the reader so that the desired effect is achieved. Explain how those images/ideas/examples do what you claim they do.
