For this assignment, you will select an argumentative text and analyze it from a rhetorical point of view. You will select a text from our textbook. See below for a full list of texts to choose from. Whichever text and topic you select, keep in mind that the genre of this assignment is analysis, and as such, you do not need to make an argument on the topic. Instead, you will evaluate how effective the text you chose is from the rhetorical point of view.
Step 2: Study the text Once you have chosen a text to analyze, it’s time to study it: read it carefully, annotate it, write down your reactions to it, re-read it again, paying attention to how your reaction might have changed the second time over. As you read the text again, pay attention to the following questions: Author: who is/are the author(s) of the text? What do you know about them based on the information provided, and what can you infer? Do some research on the author(s) as well; what are some details about their backgrounds that might be important for understanding the text? Origin: where was the text originally published? (Note: if you are analyzing one of the texts in our textbook, track down its original publication – it’s mentioned in the textbook.) If it’s a journal, magazine, or newspaper, look it up on this chart (Links to an external site.).
Do some research on the publication: is it affiliated with any political, private, or government agencies? Is it sponsored by any groups or companies? How trustworthy is it, and does it carry an agenda? Audience: who are the intended primary audiences for the text? Does the text target any other audiences, and how can you tell? Purpose: what are the authors’ purposes? What are they trying to achieve with this text? How might the text’s audience affect its purpose? Rhetorical strategies: what kind of argumentative strategies does the text use? Which rhetorical appeals does it rely on the most?
Does it primarily appeal to the audience’s emotions (pathos), logical thinking (logos) or the authors’ own authority (ethos)? How effective are these appeals? Note that usually, you will find a combination of two or three kinds of appeal in any given text or argument. Language: What kind of language does the text use? Look closely at the tone, register (level of formality), and any elements that stand out, such as emotionally loaded words, repetitions, metaphors or descriptive words, words or phrases that signify specific political or social viewpoints, etc. How do you think the author(s) tailored their language for their intended audiences? Organization and structure: How is the text organized?
Does it follow the genre conventions in its organization or not, and why? Where is the central claim located? What do the introduction and conclusion look like? How effective is the organization overall? Visuals: What kind of visual elements does the text use? Are there any pictures or images? How do they work together with the text? Genre: What genre does the text fall under? How closely does it follow the conventions of that genre? Does the text ever break the expectations for the genre, and to what effect? Contexts: Are there any direct / indirect social, cultural, geographical, political or institutional factors that influence the text / author/ situation? You’re encouraged to draw your observations into a larger context.
Step 3: Do research and start drafting your analysis Based on your answers to the questions above, start drafting your analysis. You do not need to spend the same amount of time on each question. Decide which questions are most important for your text and address then in more depth than the others. For example, your text might have no visuals, but the author’s background might require some extra time to unpack. Finally, do some research: your analysis should include at least one scholarly source and at least one popular source (if you are not sure what the difference between them is, watch this video (Links to an external site.)). You will decide how and when you will use these outside sources.
For example, for your popular source, you can find a text written in the same genre as the main text you are analyzing to help you talk about how well your main text follows–or doesn’t follow–the genre conventions. For your scholarly source, use the library database (you can use the quick search function (Links to an external site.)) to search for articles or books on the same topic as your chosen text, or for sources that either talk about rhetoric and/or rhetorical analysis (example (Links to an external site.)) or contain a rhetorical analysis of a similar text (another example (Links to an external site.)).
Ultimately, your analysis should answer these main questions: what were the purposes of the text, and was the author(s) successful in achieving them, and why or why not? Once you have created the first draft of your analysis, you will share it with your classmates for peer review as well as get my feedback on it.
After that, you will have time to revise it before submitting it for grading. Note on citation of research: For the purposes of this assignment, citation is required. While a failure to do so will not result in a failing grade, it might deter from the clarity of your writing and the originality of your thinking. There will be guidance and instruction on this in the annotated lectures. In addition, here is an MLA style resource: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_formatting_and_style_guide.html (Links to an external site.)
Directions: Your analysis should have an informative title. The introduction paragraph should introduce the text you are analyzing, briefly describe its topic, and give a preview of the main results of your analysis. The body paragraphs should go into more detail analyzing different aspects of the text. Your conclusion should summarize the main points of your analysis and offer a final judgement on the text’s rhetorical effectiveness. For the research part of this assignment, you must include at least one scholarly source and at least one popular source, with appropriate citation. Grading Criteria Content choices and rhetorical knowledge The analysis addresses most of the assignment questions effectively and offers an insightful evaluation of the chosen text. The writer analyzed all of the important aspects of the text and provided a clear description of the relevant aspects.
The analysis demonstrates solid knowledge of the rhetorical concepts it discusses. Genre conventions The analysis meets the genre conventions including a specific title, an engaging and informative introduction, unified body paragraphs, a clear conclusion, and appropriate transitions. Word choices and sentence structure are appropriate for the audience and purpose. The analysis is free of distracting spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors.
Writing Process The writer created multiple drafts of the analysis and participated in peer review. Successive drafts of the essay demonstrate the ability to explore and develop ideas, learn from instruction, apply feedback, and self-correct. Research The analysis includes one scholarly and one popular source that focus on the same or very similar topics. All outside sources are used ethically and effectively, and attributed.
