Now that we have discussed the Banneker passage thoroughly, you will need to create an outline for a complete essay (that we are NOT going to write) but that would answer the prompt and allow you to show off your best insights into the passage.
Your outline should address multiple rhetorical strategies as suggested by the prompt, and these strategies will most likely become your paragraph topics (in other words, your POA points.) Your outline should include evidence from the text and a brief bullet point explaining the insight gained from that piece of evidence. Please abbreviate quotation as needed, but make sure to leave enough for me to get the general idea.
Your outline should begin with a specific thesis statement that answers the prompt.
A general example:
Thesis statement: Banneker uses [stuff 1, stuff 2&3, and stuff 4] in an attempt to convince Jefferson that [something specific].
