Hello, Below I have copied and pasted the Instructions for the assignment below along with the RUBRIC (1) and TEMPLATES (3). I feel as if I’ve messed up a little. You will need to tune it up and format it to the EXACT instructions below. If you need names for the surveys or interviews please use “Student 1”, “Student 2”, “Student 3”, etc. I will go back and add names after. Feel free to change whatever you need. This is my final exam and I NEED a great grade. 
Throughout this course you’ve been gaining experience joining conversations–first in the secondary source unit and conversations that take place via published scholarship, and then in the archival unit and conversations that are grounded in the past–and in this unit, you’ll enter yet another conversation. This time, you’ll enter a conversation that is based on people’s perceptions/individual behavior. As you did with the first two papers, you will begin with a research question. From there, you will then conduct interviews OR surveys to gather data and formulate an answer to your research question. 
You will need to create your own research question, which will be subject to my approval and feedback.
Qualitative research methods are most often used in the social sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, and anthropology), education, and writing studies, but experience conducting qualitative research is valuable in a wide variety of disciplines and career fields. 
You are welcome to develop a topic that you chose for either your secondary or archival project, or you can opt for a new topic, as long as it’s within the larger umbrella of the course.
One tip: Generally, you’ll want to choose a population that you’re already connected to in some way –– e.g. a community you belong to, such as an intramural sports league or D&D group, or a group of people that you know in real life (friends / family / etc). As you think about your topic, think about who you know or could speak to for the project. 
Research Interviews 
The research you conduct for this project will be different than your other projects thus far. Rather than reading sources or searching through archives, you will conduct at least 3 interviews with “ordinary people… whose experiences, beliefs, and attitudes pertain to the research question you’re asking” (Rhetoric of Inquiry, p. 233). These interviews should be approximately 15 minutes long (30 minutes max!), and you’ll then transcribe and analyze your interviews to extrapolate the results for your study. 
Research Surveys
If you opt for surveys, you’ll need responses from at least 15 people. These surveys should be between 15-20 minutes to take. Again, after you have the responses, you’ll analyze your surveys to shape your results.
Audience 
Your audience for your qualitative research paper is me and other English instructors like me who participate in academic conversations that take place through published scholarship and are interested in your topic but who may not be overly familiar with the particular groups or issues you are investigating. 
Requirements
Research: As stated above, you must conduct at least 3 interviews or 15 surveys for this project. 
Structure: IMRaD Template.docxDownload IMRaD Template.docx
Length: Your final paper should be 1700-2000 words total (not including the Abstract, References, or Appendices). You can use this breakdown as a general guideline for each section, but feel free to adjust to suit your specific needs.
Introduction 300-500 words
Methods 200-400 words
Results 500-700 words
Discussion 400-600 words
Future Work 100-200 words 
Appendices: At the end of your paper, you will attach the materials you created to conduct your study.
Appendix A: The recruitment script used to invite people to participate in your study. 
Appendix B: A blank copy of the informed consent form you gave to your participants. 
Appendix C: The interview protocol you developed to conduct your interviews/Survey Instrument. 
Appendix D: Your interview transcripts/Survey results. 
Appendix E: The codebook you developed as you analyzed your interview transcripts/survey responses. 
Use proper APA documentation for your citations and References page.
See chapter 15 of your Writer’s Harbrace Handbookfor help with APA documentation.

Overview
Before you start working on your own research argument essay, you will spend some time studying the arguments of others, to better understand how they successfully structured and presented a persuasive project. The rhetorical analysis is a foundational assignment to introduce you to the “rhetorical situation,” as a concept. The goal is for you to take what you learn about successful argument, and apply it to your own writing in this course.
For this rhetorical analysis assignment, you will analyze a speech (see the options below) to gain a better understanding of “the rhetorical situation”- the audience, purpose, medium, and context–within which the speech was created. In addition to dissecting the speech’s rhetorical situation, you will also identify and discuss the author’s choice of rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos) or evidence. *This is the one and only assignment that is not driven by your personal topic selection, as all the following assignments build on each other starting with the Annotated Bibliography and concluding with the Research Story.
Expectations
As a foundational assignment, the rhetorical analysis will help you to:
Identify and analyze the rhetorical elements of a piece of communication
Assess the effectiveness of a speaker’s choices, in relation to the rhetorical situation
Build a foundation for future argument writing based on the skills and strategies identified and analyzed in this assignment 
Requirements
Length:  There is a 1000 word-minimum. All elements noted below are to be included in the analysis. See Assignment Organization.
* if the minimum word count is not met, your assignment will be returned with no grade and a resubmission will be required.   
Organization: Check out the table below for more information about the required content and conditions of each component:
Component
Content
Conditions
Introduction (Description)
The intro is your first chance to reach your reader, engage their interest, and include all of the forecasting for the rest of the essay, such as the purpose of the writing project, and the parameters of your investigation. Be sure to focus on what the speaker is doing, how, and why, using the conditions as your guide.  
Make sure that you clearly state the speaker and the title of the speech, along with any other details that will help provide the reader with context about your analysis.
Place the speech in a broader context.
Introduce the speech by characterizing the speaker and the occasion.
Identify the audience and situation for which the speech is intended.
Describe the speaker’s purpose.
THESIS/CLAIM: Identify the rhetorical strategies that you have decided to discuss and indicate, in general terms, how they function to promote the author’s purpose in relation to the intended audience. 
Body (Analysis)
The body will include paragraphs that will have their own topic sentences developed with specifics from the speech. You may want to focus each paragraph on one rhetorical strategy, or you may focus on different parts of one strategy.  Useful strategies for developing paragraphs include:
Defining the rhetorical strategy(ies).
Quoting or paraphrasing examples to illustrate the writer’s use of the strategy (two or three examples generally suffice).
Explaining how the example illustrates the strategy and how the strategy contributes to the writer’s purpose. 
Conclusion (Evaluation)
The conclusion serves the purpose of reiterating your thesis, briefly summarizing the main points of your analysis, and explaining the significance of your analysis. The significance of your analysis may be suggested by asking questions such as these:
How do the rhetorical strategies that you discussed explain the effects the speaker achieved with his or her audience?
Why were the strategies effective or not effective with the speaker’s core constituency and with other audiences?
What do the rhetorical strategies suggest about the speaker’s agenda?
Document Formatting: MLA formatting: Heading (name, assignment name, course name, date), original title, header (page numbers), line-spacing (double-spaced), 1”margins, and 12-point font size, Times New Roman or sans-serif font. The thesis must be underlined.
Genre/Style: Formal analysis: thesis-driven and paragraph formatted

From me… 

Once you have received feedback from your instructor and your peer reviewers on your rough draft, it will be time to revise your Research Paper and submit the final draft. When revising, carefully review the feedback you have received from your instructor and classmates, along with the grading rubric.
To earn credit for this assignment, you must make revisions to your rough draft. Remember, you can also visit the Virtual Communication Lab for feedback and help to revise your paper. 
In addition to your revised paper, you will need to submit a reflection letter based on the process outlined in the reading in Module 3 Reading and Resources. The reflection letter (at least 250 words) should be uploaded as a separate document.
In your reflection, you should:
Explain what you intend for the paper to do for its audience. State who you think your target audience is. Discuss the purpose(s) and the effect(s) you want it to have on your readers.
Describe your process of working on the paper. How did you narrow the assigned topic? What kind of planning did you do? What steps did you go through? What revisions did you make after completing your rough draft, and why?
How did comments from your classmates and instructor help you? How did any class readings or activities help you?
What aspects of the paper are you still most concerned about? What aspects are you most proud of? 
After you’ve drafted your reflection letter, think about whether your letter and paper match up. Does the paper really do what your letter promises? If not, then use the draft of your letter as a revising tool to make a few more adjustments. Then, when the paper is polished and ready to hand in, polish the letter as well and submit them together.
Be sure to follow APA student paper guidelines for your title page, page numbers, font, margins, and in-text citations and references. 
This is what my proffersor said about my rough draft
Here is my feedback on your Essay 2 draft.
Cover Page:
create a proper academic title. You can use a phrase from your paper, but don’t create a complete sentence. For example, the title could be “Charting a Sustainable and Affordable Future: Strategies for Escalating Ticket Prices”.
Introduction:
it would be helpful to quantify the recent surge in jet fuel prices with statistics. Likewise, it would be useful to quantify how much aviation is thought to contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Don’t say, “This essay aims to…”.  Instead, turn that statement into a thesis that makes your argument.
Body Paragraph 1:
The first sentence is almost a paragraph in itself, so break it into separate, well-paced sentences. It would also help to start with a topic sentence that develops your argument.
When you identify an acronym, provide the long version first with the acronym in parentheses:  According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)….
At the end of the paragraph, it would be helpful to point to a solution or countermeasure for airlines. (Think of a sentence starting with “Consequently, …” or “This trend indicates …”)
In the current last sentence of the paragraph, change “this” to “which.”
Body Paragraphs 2 and 3:
Switch the order of the first two sentences, and provide a citation for the claim that jet fuel often ranks second after labor. Use a signal phrase to identify where the source material begins:  According to Hsu and Eie, …(2013).
The third body paragraph repeats some of the second, but has the source citation for Miyoshi and Fukui. Consequently, you need to combine the two paragraphs in a meaningful way. The sentences in the middle of the third paragraph seem to belong at the end of that section, since they point to solutions that you do not explore in detail in the paragraph. Are there any promising alternative fuels?
Body Paragraph 4:
If you integrate and rearrange Body Paragraphs 2 and 3 so that they end by pointing to the need for alternative fuels, this paragraph should smoothly continue the progression. However, make sure you tweak the first two sentences to make them topic sentences that develop your thesis. At the moment, the first sentence is information-driven.
Use a signal phrase for Turner and Lim, such as “In their research, Turner and Lim found that … (2015). Make sure you end with your analysis or by pointing to the solutions. Don’t let source material get the first and last words!
Conclusion and References:
The conclusion covers all the bases and finishes well, although the solutions could be more specific (but only if you discussed the solutions already).
In the References, italicize the names of journals and their volume numbers (but not the journal article title or the issue number. If you added new sources for statistics, make sure you cite them here.
Double-check that each body paragraph synthesizes at least two sources.  
Ive attached my rough draft below

Requirements
Assignment: You will compose an 8-page position paper plus a Works Cited page featuring at least 12-15 sources. 
Purpose: You have been working towards this essay all semester, gathering research throughout the term and considering (and re-considering) your position as well as others’ in order to determine the strongest argument or best course of action. Your work in this essay is to take a position within the debate that you’ve investigated and meditated on for a good deal of this semester. Your position should thus build on your work in the Annotated Bibliography and the Digital Forum.
Keeping in mind this course’s central interest in academic writing as a skill that enables civic engagement and communal participation, the goal of the position paper is to build on what you’ve learned so that you can now (finally!) take a position within the conversation and make a new claim within your issue. This argumentative essay will be the place where you can share the fruits of your research and argue for the ideas you have developed through your writing and research process, keeping in mind what is at stake and for whom.
Audience: You will identify an audience for this project. When you do, remember the genre of the essay: you are making an academic argument. However, this genre should not be seen as limiting. Academics are not the only people who read academic arguments, and academic arguments are often found in widely read publications. Thus, you should think of your audience as an interested group who expects to encounter a thoughtful, informed, and persuasive essay.
Writing the Position Paper
You may feel as if you’ve said all there is to say on your topic, but our work during these last weeks of the semester turns your attention to rhetorical strategies that take up concerns of definition, cause and consequence, evaluation, and proposals for new action. Thus, you might work in this final paper to pinpoint the cause and the consequences of the problem you have been exploring and then propose a solution. Such a focus on proposals and solutions is indeed welcome, for we can all identify problems. The challenge is to create solutions with maximum benefit to the community.
For this project, you are required to have a bibliography of at least fifteen sources. At least 6 of these sources need to be academic (books, articles, government and scholarly reports, etc.); the others might include blogs, interviews, magazine or newspaper articles, YouTube videos, or graphs from government or think tank websites. All sources must be reputable, credible, and useful for your case. Of course, you should draw on your Annotated Bibliography assignment and your “Further Reading” list from the Digital Forum. You’ll also, though, need to conduct more research. A great part of your success in this assignment will be determined by how well you employ your research. 
One of the trickiest parts of a long argument is organization. You need to give an overview, stake your claim, offer evidence, refute evidence—how will you put it all together? There are two rhetorical tools to help you here. 
The first is the stases. You can use the hierarchy of the stases, the way that an issue in one stasis depends on or interacts with an issue in another stasis, to help shape the paper. If you are making an argument about action, for example, you might introduce your thesis, but then bring in issues from fact/definition to establish background, issues from cause/effect to show exigence, issues from value to further develop a sense of importance and urgency, and then come to more extensive support for your claim about action.  
The second piece of rhetorical theory are the arrangement strategies found in Fearless Writing. These strategies offer guidelines about how to begin and offer background and how to lay out a map for the paper.

I will provide three seperate word document attachments. One of them will be the intructions for the assignment and the other two documents will be the text book readings required to complete the assignment and to cite textbook sources. SLU in the instructions stands for “Saint Leo University”
