Assignment Description
This unit asks students to identify a reason for action and respond through rhetorically informed and civically engaged textual production. A considerable amount of time is dedicated to studio sessions, in which students present works in progress and practice rhetorical thinking by offering and responding to feedback. Depending on the instructor’s comfort level, students may have more or fewer rhetorical decisions to make about their projects as they compose: purpose, audience, genre, mode, medium, method of delivery and circulation, etc. This project functions as a bridge to the ‘public work’ of English 2010.
