solved The first thing to consider is what kind of thing

The first thing to consider is what kind of thing (genre) it is: description, argument, opinion, analysis, and so on. The original schema was derived from analysis of argument and persuasion, but the method can be used for analyzing any communications situation. The examples (under Content/Resources in D2L) show you how to use the terms of either the older schema for argument (Aristotelian) or contemporary analysis. The video adds a category that you can use if you choose to, but the three primary categories for analysis are the “triangle”: the author’s persona or presentation of self; the target audience; and the subject matter and logical structure. In other words, how the author establishes authority and credibility; how the audience is approached (levels of language, for example) and what the author thinks the audience’s values, background, and etc. may be; what the article is about, and how logical and organized it is. The three basic appeals are to the author’s ethical standing and knowledge, the logic and soundness of the content, and the appeal to the audience’s emotions (emotional effects on the readers or viewers). As with the summaries, you are encouraged to do the analysis first and then, if you choose, a more personal response. So this can be another two-part essay, but the first part will be more complex and much longer than a simple summary.After you present the analysis, you should bring this all together in a synthesis that may be evaluative. In other words, you are going to assess the article’s effectiveness in reaching a particular audience and explain why you came to this judgment about it.Please note that you are making an argument here; just saying something like “the author has authority” does not help much since it is only staking a claim. You must go on to explain why you are arguing for this. That is, you must give evidence to support your analysis. If you use sources from outside of the text, such as an author’s biography on a university website, as well as internal evidence, you must cite those outside sources. You should quote directly from the article and provide examples as you go through the process of explaining your analysis. Basically, arguments make claims, offer evidence, and connect the evidence to the conclusion. You do not, however, have to provide a counter claim or opposing view and refutation. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/01/17/w…
