You will see that for the claim I have provided 3 reasons. For each reason, I have provided two different
sources (you only have to provide 1); I have written a précis (pretend like it is there), and then I have listed
the specific research I would use.
1. My topic will be mandatory community service
2. Arguable claim: Community service should not be a requirement for college graduation
3. Grounds in support of the claim:
A. True service must come from the heart/personal desire. When forced, the effort is likely to be weak.

other civicminded groups is to teach people compassion and a giving spirit, it is better
suited being promoted through religious avenues that focus on the moral and ethical
development of societies.”

B. Students are busy people particularly the increasing number of nontraditional students who also
work and have families. Most community service activities are in the evenings and on the weekends
making it very tough for students to find the time.

4 Sentence Rhetorical Précis
Formatting Requirements
Sentence #1 – Name of the author and title of the work followed by the publishing information, date, and
page numbers in parentheses, a rhetorically accurate verb (chosen from the chart below that
best indicates the author’s attitude – his/her tone) followed by that word “that” and a clause that
gives us the overall thesis (point or claim) the author is making with the overall article.
acknowledges
advises
agrees
analyzes
answers
embraces
reveals
satirizes
rejects
surveys
considers
criticizes
declares
disagrees
discusses
opposes
assumes
abhors
reveals in
illustrates
interprets
chastises
lists
objects
offers
asserts
claims
denounces
supports
illuminates
remarks
replies
reports
responds
appreciates
emphasizes
retorts
admonishes
preaches
debunks
Sentence #2 – A brief summation of the main points (at least 3) that the author uses to develop
or support his thesis – written in the same relative order as is introduced in the essay.
Pay attention to punctuation – make good use of semi-colons here. Do not repeat
points. Be able to distinguish new information from elaboration of already introduced
points. Remember, these key points must be contained in one sentence. (Do not create a run-on
sentence by hooking the points together with commas.)
Sentence #3 – A statement of the author’s purpose, begun with the author’s name or some variation
(This writer) followed by an appropriate verb (remarks, argues, etc.), and then the word phrase
“in order to.” With this sentence, you are identifying the writer’s purpose – why is he or she
writing the article – what is his/her objective.
Sentence #4 – A description of the audience. The final sentence identifies for whom, specifically, is the
article intended? Sometimes the audience is “anyone,” but usually, the author has a particular
audience in mind.
A completed précis will look and read something like this:
Carol Jago, in “Entrance to High School Should Not Be Automatic” (Education
Journal, Vol. X, No. 7, 1999: 56-57) contends that to improve the public education system,
students should be made to deem going to school a privilege. Jago supports her contention
by delineating two types of students who do not belong in a public high school: those who
do not have the basic skills, and those who do not have the motivation, suggesting
remediation for the former and apprenticeship programs for the latter. This author
proposes her plan in order to ensure that students entering high school are prepared both
academically and motivationally. This educator urges those in policy-making positions to
make students work for their “free” yet very expensive education.
