This project is based on another project that I did use the other project I did as a resource
An Opinion Piece that presents your view on your topic to a public audience in 500+ words (be sure to also review your chosen publication’s guidelines).
For guidance on writing opinion pieces, you might utilize The Learning Agency’s “How to Write an Op-Ed: A Step By Step Guide” and/or The Op-Ed’s “Op-Ed Writing: Tips and Tricks
A Reflective Essay. This 500+ word essay has two parts (each part should have multiple paragraphs):
Part 1 (Rhetorical Choices): Describe the rhetorical situation of your campaign. What are you hoping to achieve? What audience are you trying to reach? What genres did you select, and why? Which publications, venues, or locations do you envision your opinion piece and visual or audio advocacy document being published in (this should reflect your choice of audience)? What main persuasive strategies did you use, and why did you choose those strategies over others? What are you most proud of and what do you still wish you could improve on if you had more time to revise?
Part 2 (Progress towards Student Learning Outcomes): discusses, with specific examples from your writing and process, how this project has helped you progress towards the following Student Learning Outcomes: (4) Produce coherent, well-supported arguments in different modalities in response to an ongoing public conversation; and (5) Create purpose-driven texts in different modalities that respond to a variety of rhetorical situations and anticipate and adapt to the needs of different readers. (note: the current samples don’t include Part 2, so keep that in mind when using the samples as a model.)
