PurposeStudying rhetoric means studying the way a text, a performance, or an object makes meaning. By writing a rhetorical analysis paper, you will describe how a text or object makes meaning by identifying the author’s purpose, target audience, message, and rhetorical strategies and then describing them in the form of an academic paper. Before writing your paper, we will practice rhetorical analysis together in our class discussions and you will have a chance to practice writing about rhetoric in short informal assignments. It is helpful to develop rhetorical analysis strategies in a first-year writing class because you can draw on these strategies in future classes when you are asked to respond to readings, analyze an issue, or write to reach a specific audience.This assignment has two purposes: 1.) for you to carefully analyze the parts of a text or object (purpose, audience, rhetorical strategies) and explain how those parts come together to effectively convey a message to an audience, and 2.) for you to discuss your analysis in the form of an academic essay organized around claims and evidence.TaskThe first choice you’ll make in your rhetorical analysis is to choose the artifact that you will analyze. For this, you need to choose an example of rhetoric that focuses on some current event that is important to a specific culture. This can be a newspaper article, a speech, a Ted Talk, or whatever else you can think of. The only requirements are that it is persuasive in nature and current, meaning within the last 2 years. I encourage you to choose something you want to learn more about, and something that is meaningful, meaning that it had or will have an impact. Once you choose your artifact, you’ll conduct a rhetorical analysis based on Carroll’s article “Backpacks vs. Briefcases: Steps Toward Rhetorical Analysis.” To do this, you should:1. Introduce the artifact you chose to analyze and discuss the significance of the artifact 2. Rhetorically analyze the methods the writer/speaker uses to persuade the audience 3. Support your analysis by connecting examples of quotes from the course readings4. Discuss the relation of the rhetorical strategies used to the current event they are discussing and argue whether or not the artifact was effective In your analysis of the rhetorical strategies used, you might want to consider the following:How does meaning-making work in specific cultures and/or communities of practice? What are the rhetorical affordances of understanding those practices? What situates those practices discursively? Historically?How is the relationship between speaker/writer, meaning, and culture important in a given context?What are the rhetorical strategies of specific cultural practices? How do those strategies relate with other rhetorical practices?Requirements For the final draft, a cover letter that explains your purpose, writing process, and concerns for feedbackAn engaging introduction that clearly indicates the type of artifact you’ll be analyzing and showcases your understanding of rhetoric and rhetorical analysis An analysis of the rhetorical situation and rhetorical appeals used by the speaker/writer An analysis of how effectively those appeals and other rhetorical strategies matched that rhetorical situationReferences to the course readingsReferences to specific examples from the artifact to illustrate your pointsA conclusion that effectively ties together your analysis and the “point” you are trying to make4+ pages in MLA format with a Works Cited.(4 Content pages work cited doesnt count as a page) Cover Letter Requirement As we’ll read in Giles’ piece “Reflective Writing and the Revision Process: What Were You Thinking?” sometimes it’s useful to include a “Letter to the Reader” or a cover letter as we’ll call it for our class that contextualizes the work you’re submitting to me. This cover letter is your chance to explain your work to me as I assess it and should go on the first page of your work before your MLA header. Your cover letter should discuss the following aspects in about a page:First, tell me what you intend for your essay to do for its reader. Describe the purpose of your work and the effect you want it to have on your audience. Are you imagining me as your only audience? Or me and your peers? Or me, your peers, and maybe a publication like Stylus? How have these different audiences impacted the way you wrote your work? Then, describe your process of working on the essay. How did you narrow the assigned topic? What kind of planning did you do? What steps did you go through, what changes did you make along the way, what decisions did you face, and how did you make the decisions? How did comments from your peers, in peer workshop, help you? How did any class activities on style, editing, etc., help you?Finally, discuss some aspects of the work you’d like me to be mindful of or pay particular attention to. Which sections do you feel need the most feedback and the most development?After you’ve drafted it, think about whether your letter and essay match up. Does the essay really do what your letter promises? If not, then use the draft of your letter as a revising tool to make a few more adjustments to your essay.You will submit the cover letter in the same document as the essay on the first page. -When talking about the rhetorical situation(exigence, rhetor, audience, constraints and their definitions) please quote Grant Davie and throughout the essay you can quote Caroll and Grant-Davie. -I was told to consider: The video is a TedTalk and it’s uploaded on Youtube, this can be a discussion to have about constraints and audience analysis (how does this change/expand the audience and constraints). – I will also attach an outline I made that was approved. -This is the link to Caroll’s essay: https://wac.colostate.edu/books/writingspaces1/carroll–backpacks-vs-briefcases.pdf – The second essay you can use to quote etc i cannot provide it to you but it is: Keith Grant-Davie, “Rhetorical Situations and Their Constituents” Writing about Writing pages 397-412. -Steps to write the analysis:1)introduce the artifact. 2) Caroll’s step1 :identifying rhtorical situation using grant-davie situation: exigence,rhetor, audience, constraints. 3) Caroll’s step2: identify argument and rhetorical appeals. 4)use pages 55, 56 to argue if the argument fits the situation. 6)Conclusion: power of rhetoric in the world. -This is the video i chose:
