This week, we will be working on only the outline and work cited. Please take some time to look at the outline (6.2) and the source requirements.
Please email me if you have any questions or concerns. This is a more complicated essay, so it is ok if the concept seems challenging
“The writer who uses the Rogerian strategy attempts to do three things: (1) to convey to the reader that he[she, they] is understood, (2) to delineate the area within which he[she, they] believes the reader’s position to be valid, and (3) to induce him to believe that he[she, they] and the writer share similar moral qualities (honesty, integrity, and good will) and aspirations (the desire to discover a mutually acceptable solution). ”
