is the essay Purpose: the purpose of this assignment is to develop a Public Argument based on the research you accomplished in your Unit Two Research Proposal, and the rhetorical concepts Assignment Goal: Your goal is to develop a website blog with an argument, using visual and written components, that will persuade your audience, such as to take action on something or to believe something. The website blog (a public argument): Requirements: ? Create your blog on weebly.com or any other website building tool you are familiar with. Your website blog will include the website, a blog article, and some relevant visual that helps the persuasiveness of the argument. ? Incorporate research (minimum of three reliable written sources and two of your own interview sources) from the Research Proposal (ask me if you find other sources that are a better fit). ? Citations are required (MLA, APA, or in a “website link” style appropriate to the genre). Remember that citing your sources improve your credibility as well. ? Formatting appropriate to blog genre: length (approximately 500-1000 words), line spacing (single-spaced, no indent), etc. The Visual Part of bringing your audience to your side and communicating your idea will be with a combination of text and images. You can include, cite, and leave publically online images with Creative Commons license (https://search.creativecommons.org). If you find other images without this Creative Commons license, you will have to take it down after the class is complete (or see permission to use it publically). Grading: This essay is worth 25% of your overall grade for the course and will be graded according to the Public Argument Rubric posted on D2L. Your essay will be assessed for focus, evidence & organization, style & expression, as well as adherence to conventions of formatting & citations for a blog genre. ???? Steps in the process: ? Identify specifics of your rhetorical situation (target audience, speaker, purpose, context). ? As you imagine your audience in your mind, compose your writing in a register and tone appropriate for the persuasive effect. ? Spend most of your time writing the blog article, which should include both visuals and text that will bring your readers to doing or believing or understanding what you want them to. Other important suggestions: ? Remember the strategies of rhetorical effectiveness analyzed in Unit One. Use them! Establish trust by showing knowledge of and genuine interest in your topic. ? Some of your credibility can be through your experience and through the sources you found in Unit Two: provide evidence from your research and explain your reasoning; suit your new approach to your intended audience and purpose. ? Don’t assume everyone agrees with you. Consider objections that might be raised in relation to your argument. How will you find common ground, concede, and/or refute their objections effectively? ? The information should be organized so that your reader (s) can make sense of it, even if some of the information comes in the form of graphics, your own videos, or even comics. ? Aim for succinctness (conciseness), accuracy of detail, clarity of thought and expression.
