 LEARNING TARGETS

how Chávez uses them to develop his claims.
 HOW AUTHORS CONVEY A MESSAGE
Gist
What each
paragraph/section is about
Example: There is a girl who
looks like a warrior.
Structure
How the author says it;
what each
paragraph/section
contributes to the text.
Example: The first step
contributes to the painting by
outlining the girl. The 8-12th
steps contribute to the
painting by bringing the girl to
life with color.
Central Claim
The argument the author
is making.
Example: The central idea of
the paining is that the girl is a
fierce warrior from a
futuristic world; Fight back
against evil!
Rhetorical Devices
The tools the author uses
to convey the Central
Claim.
Example: The painter used a
pencil-shading tool first, then
used black and white shading,
then added yellow and purple
coloring to convey the central
idea.
 REPLICABLE READING
SKILL
• Readers track rhetorical devices
used to convey a central message.

• 1. Before you re- read, keep the central

claim in your mind.
• 2. As you read, highlight/ underline any
rhetorical devices used by the author.

and tools convey the central message?
