The Rhetorical SituationFor this paper, you will propose a research project that will span the entire semester. Your audience will be your classmates and I.Any academic or public policy research project begins by identifying an issue, which is simply an unsettled question that matters to a community. In the proposal stage, a writer takes stock of her or his current knowledge of and position on the issue and develops a research plan. A well-constructed issue proposal serves as a blueprint for the project as a whole and helps define a feasible scope for the project.InventionIn rhetorical studies, invention refers to the systematic search for ideas that can be shaped into an effective composition. (The term “prewriting” is sometimes used to refer to the concept of invention.) This section of the assignment, then, is designed to help you generate the required content for your Issue Proposal. Please note that the following steps are not intended to serve as an outline for your paper. Rather, these steps will help you produce the “raw materials” that you will then refine into a well-organized proposal, and these steps are likely to produce more material than you can actually use in the draft you submit to readers.ArrangementIn rhetorical studies, arrangement refers to the selection of content generated during the inventional stage and the organization of that content into an effective composition.To begin your paper, follow the advice offered in Ch. 1 of They Say/I Say: “To give your writing the most important thing of all — namely, a point — a writer needs to indicate clearly not only what his or her thesis is, but also what larger conversation that thesis is responding to” (20). In this case, the conversation you’re responding to is the one surrounding the issue you’ve selected. Indicate at the beginning of your paper that you’re writing in response to that conversation; then state a thesis that previews what you’ll be discussing in your proposal.Also, mind the lesson of Ch.7 in They Say/I Say: “Regardless of how interesting a topic may be to you as a writer, readers always need to know what is at stake in a text and why they should care. . . . Rather than assume that audiences will know why their claims matter, all writers need to answer the ‘so what?’ and ‘who cares?’ questions up front” (92 – 93). Don’t assume that your classmates and I will understand why your issue matters — make us understand by explaining why your issue is important and why it matters to a community. Feel free to use the templates in Ch. 7 of They Say/I Say .After you’ve completed these introductory moves, the arrangement of your analysis is up to you. You should include material from each step in the inventional stage, but your selection and organization of that material should follow your own judgment as to what will prove most effective with your classmates and me.StyleIn rhetorical studies, style refers to the appropriate language for the occasion, subject matter, and audience.One purpose of ENGL 1302 is give you practice writing in a variety of styles. For this paper, your style should be clear but informal. As mentioned earlier, you should follow the advice in Ch. 9 of They Say/I Say and mix standard written English with “the kinds of expressions and turns of phrase that you use every day when texting or conversing with family and friends” (121). This paper will allow your classmates and me to get to know you better, so write in a style that is your own.Readers appreciate coherent, unified paragraphs, even when reading an informal piece of writing. Your paragraphs should include a topic sentence that clearly states the main idea of the paragraph and supporting sentences that cluster around the main idea without detours.Proofread carefully; avoid errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and mechanics. Visit the Purdue OWL website ( https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/ ) for questions you have regarding style.Other RequirementsYour paper should be 2-4 pages long — anything beyond that length will be considered a failure to adhere to one of the assignment’s basic requirements. It should be double spaced, typed in Times New Roman font, with 12 – point character size and one-inch margins all the way around. Your paper should also follow MLA formatting and citation guidelines.

Discussion 3 – Drafting StrategiesLearning Objectives CoveredGetting from the thoughts and vision

Discussion 3 – Drafting StrategiesLearning Objectives CoveredGetting from the thoughts and vision in our head to written words on paper can be a challenge, like herding cats. (The video is not required to view, but it’s funny and it lasts just 68 seconds.)https://youtu.be/Pk7yqlTMvp8 (Links to an external site.)(1:08)But if we don’t get words onto the page, we can’t move to the next step, revision, which allows us to polish the words into something amazing. Whether we are writing an academic paper, poetry, a love note, a business proposal, or a novel, there will be moments of struggle in drafting our initial thoughts to paper at least once in a while. Many professional writers struggle with their initial draft every time they write.Here is an excerpt from a book by William Zinsser that is illustrative:There are many strategies for drafting that writers use. You can find them easily on the web through writing groups and in books on writing available at your local library or bookstore. Here are a couple of fun ones to try out.Drafting Strategy 1: The Shovel of Death – The Shovel of Death is adapted from the Traveling Shovel of Death famous in the volunteer writing challenge National Novel Writing Month held each November nanowrimo.org. Generally it is used to kill a character in fiction. However, you can use the Shovel of Death in nonfiction as well. We’ll illustrate in the example below that also includes The Ninja Monkeys.Drafting Strategy 2: The Ninja Monkeys – Like The Shovel of Death, the Ninja Monkeys show up whenever you are stuck in your writing, freeing you to keep writing. Here is an example:Example of Strategy 1 and 2 – This example is an excerpt of an initial draft on the definition of technical communication in an undergraduate paper. The thoughts of the writer are conveyed in italics and brackets.Polished Draft – Here is the example cleaned up and ready for serious revision.Other Drafting StrategiesInstructors and writers can often feel pretty strongly their drafting strategies are the best. In truth, the best strategies are the ones that work for you. Among the most popular–but not nearly as fun as Ninja Monkeys–are:Other Drafting IdeasYou can also change things up in writing a draft by switching from using the laptop to using pen and paper. Or you could go outside or to a cafe to change the atmosphere. Some writers set a timer and keep writing for that amount of time without a stop and then they get a break.The key from all of this is to find the technique(s) and strategy(ies) that work best for you. Once you have a draft, even if it’s really awful, you have something you can build on and play with to get a great final product. Professional writers work with drafts. They don’t simply write the final piece as the first thing they do. Don’t try to do it either. You will convey your message with greater skill if you wisely use drafting to build the quality of your final piece.This discussion is a drafting game. For your initial post, pick one of the topics below and then do a three-minute timed writing on it. If you get stuck, use the Ninja Monkeys or the Shovel of Death.IMPORTANT: This is the only activity in this course that is on a topic that differs from the paper you are writing. The topic you choose only applies to this week’s discussion forum. It does NOT change the topic of your paper! Your paper is on the topic you chose in Week 1.Your replies to others should be a one-minute timed writing building on what the person you are replying to wrote.Choose one of these topics:If you want to see an example of how this works, you can see it here.You will be graded on how you showed where references would be helpful, understanding of how to approach the topic, and cohesiveness in your replies.Remember that part of the discussion grade is submitting on time and using proper grammar, spelling, etc. You’re training to be a professional—write like it.Will also need to do replies as well, but those come after the first post.Will also need to do replies as well, but those come after the first post.Will also need to do replies as well, but those come after the first post.Will also need to do replies as well, but those come after the first post.Will also need to do replies as well, but those come after the first post.Will also need to do replies as well, but those come after the first post.Will also need to do replies as well, but those come after the first post.Will also need to do replies as well, but those come after the first post.

– IWG Formatting and Writing the Rough Draft

In Weeks 1 and 2, you worked on finding an angle for your chosen topic. You also worked on brainstorming, writing a thesis statement, and gathering evidence in support of your thesis statement. These are all components of prewriting leading up to your Final Draft, which is due in Week 4.The rough draft is the first version of your essay. It is an important step in the writing process because it helps you see the strengths and weaknesses of your paper. The rough draft is not meant to be perfect, it is meant to be revised—maybe more than once. This is the time to try out new ideas, and see what works best for what you want to accomplish in this writing piece.Most writers do not begin by writing an essay from beginning to end, but rather build it in the following sequence. Your draft must have these components:Here is a suggested sequence for writing the first draft:The introduction must include a thesis statement.This is an important part of the paper. This is where you clearly state what your paper is about and your stand on the topic. Remember to include three reasons or support for your thesis. For example, Chocolate labs make the best dogs because they are loyal, good companions, and good with children. (But remember, you are not writing about dogs. This will be a draft of the paper you began in Week 1.)Each body paragraph should discuss one of your reasons or one support piece of your thesis. For example, the first paragraph of the above thesis would be about how chocolate labs are loyal, the second about how they are good companions, and the third how they are good with children. You should also include transitional paragraphs that can be used to move from one supporting paragraph to the next.The conclusion must be strong and not leave the reader hanging, like at the end of a bad movie. It also should not be merely a summary of what the reader just read. Instead, focus on what you learned during your research. The conclusion is your last chance to convince your audience to believe what you say. Use this opportunity to leave them with your most important points. One way to end the conclusion is to use a call to action (see http://www.webster.edu/academic-resource-center/writingcenter/writing-tips/conclusions.html (Links to an external site.)).

All you have to do is plug your rough draft into the template.This draft should be between 500-600 words long, and it should include your two sources.

Write a news article version of a fairy tale.First, fill in

Write a news article version of a fairy tale.First, fill in the Inverted Pyramid template with the appropriate information from your selected fairy tale. This is not to be turned in, but it will help you form the roadmap for your article. Here is an example to help you determine what information will go in each block of the template: Second, re-tell the story of your selected fairy tale in a four-paragraph news article using the inverted pyramid template as an outline for your four paragraphs.Remember that news articles are meant to be complete yet brief, so, in contrast to what you normally expect to see, this assignment has both a minimum word count and a maximum. It should be no fewer than 150 but no more than 200 words. Still, it must include all the key story elements and must address each the Journalist’s Questions. Some of the questions might not be specified in the story, but they must be answered in your article, even if you must make up the answer. For example, most versions of “Red Riding Hood” specify no time frame other than “once upon a time,” and many specify no location other than some unnamed woods. You must fill in such gaps from your own imagination. Third, in a MS Word file, write your article in four paragraphs, each one based on the inverted pyramid template.1) How did you decide what children’s story to rewrite? For example, was familiarity a factor? Length? Story line?2) Did you have to “create” any of the answers to the journalist’s questions? For example, does your story happen in a particular time frame, or did you have to invent that part? What drove your choice(s) in inventing these pieces?3) What other challenges did you face in turning a fairy tale into a news article?4) How does the style of this piece of writing differ from the 5-paragraph essay style?

Module 1: READING COMPREHENSIONWeek 1INITIAL REFLECTIONThink back over the last couple of weeks. We all read various materials on a daily basis: Think about road signs, receipts, cereal boxes, texts, social media posts, product descriptions, magazines, letters, emails, books, etc. What piece of reading had the most impact on you recently, whether it was positive or negative?In one substantial paragraph, describe the piece of reading content you chose above and its content. Then, in another substantial paragraph, analyze the piece: What made it so important or engaging to you? Why did it matter to you? Did you fully understand it? Were you able to apply it in your life, and if so, how?Submit your paragraph as part 1 of the submission for this week below.DIAGNOSTIC PRETESTTake this Reading Comprehension Quiz: https://spscc.instructure.com/courses/1345787/quizzes/2404742Review the questions you got wrong. For each one you missed, attempt to choose the correct answer and try to determine what contributed to your mistakes.STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE READINGRead these tips for reading efficiently and effectively at the college level:1. Find a quiet space, silence your phone, and concentrate.2. Consider the context. Why has this reading been assigned, and/or what will you use it for? This information will help target your reading so you can find what’s important.3. Convert the title and subtitles into questions. For example, “Buster’s Day at the Farm” becomes “What did Buster do at the farm and what was important about that?” This framework often works pretty well: What is (insert the topic) and what is important about it? The title and subtitles provide “signposts” to guide the reader to what’s important, and this technique will allow you to take advantage of that.4. Find the topic and the main idea. What is the text generally about, and what does the author have to say about the topic? The main idea is usually about one sentence long. It is often stated in a thesis statement that can be found at the beginning and end of the piece. If you understand the main idea, you will be better able to understand the importance of all the other information and prioritize what to focus on.5. Skim first. Think of skim milk. Skimming off the fat is a way of getting rid of what you don’t need. Skimming when you read also refers to moving your eyes quickly across the pages without setting. The purpose of skimming is to understand the overall structure and type of piece you are reading. There may be whole sections that are unimportant to my purpose for reading and might be skipped altogether. Be careful, though—you wouldn’t want to skim off something you actually need! After skimming, go back and read more carefully, focusing on essential passages.6. Target what’s important by varying your reading speed. Watch Improving Reading Comprehension (link: https://www.lynda.com/Higher-Education-tutorials/Improving-your-reading-comprehension-through-speed-variability/372920/426619-4.html?org=stratford.edu)7. Take notes. After each paragraph, write down brief answers to these questions: What was the point of that paragraph and what was its purpose in the overall piece? What information is helpful to my purpose for reading this piece?8. Explain the information to someone else, focusing on what’s most important. The best way to solidify information in your mind is to articulate it to others.ASSIGNMENTPull out at least three pieces of information from the above resources that you found helpful and can apply to your reading process moving forward. For each piece of information, explain what you find useful about it and how you plan to apply it, in complete sentences (1-3 sentences per tip).Submit your list and explication of the tips as part 2 of your submission for this week below.
