Project 3: Multigenre Persuasive Campaign 
and Rhetorical Rationale
(Minimum of 300 words for the Multigenre Persuasive Campaign; 
Minimum of 750 words for the Rhetorical Rationale)
This assignment asks you to take a stance on the topic or issue that you have identified within your declared, or prospective, academic major. Drawing from your investigative field research and your analysis of the rhetorical strategies employed by your discourse community, you will compose two new genre compositions to convince your audiences to take action. (See example projects.)
To begin, you will take a stance and develop your argument based on the information you have gleaned from the first and second projects. 
Then, you will identify your audiences; that is, you will decide what audiences would (or should) respond to your argument. For this project, you are required to address two unique audiences (one per genre you created). Making your audience more concrete and specific will make your rhetorical task easier and will result in a more successful project. 
Once you have identified your audiences, you will want to consider which two genres will be most effective for reaching your chosen audiences. Your genres are your choice, but this choice should be informed by your analysis and assessment of your rhetorical situation. 
Finally, you will compose your two genres, developing a researched argument that will target the specific audience you identify. 
In addition, you will write a rationale that explains the rhetorical choices you made when composing in each genre and how you see those choices as effective for your purpose, audience, and context.  You should explain not only what you did but also why you did what you did. Finally, your rationale should evaluate the effectiveness of your choices (as indicated by feedback you received on drafts), acknowledging when something didn’t work as you intended. 
Documentation Style: The two genres should use formatting and citation styles appropriate for the selected genres; the Rhetorical Rationale may be crafted using the documentation style of your field be formatted in Times New Roman (or a similar style), 12 pt. font, double-spaced. 
Below i included my 2 projects to base this project off of with 3 examples to help guide this assignment  

To begin with, please read at least three poems by each of the following poets (all can be found on the website The Poetry Foundation).
Gwendolyn Brooks
Robert Hayden
Langston Hughes
Alice Walker
Amiri Baraka
Audre Lorde
Your assignment is to find and read (at least) three poems by each, for a total of 18 poems required. You should write a 3 page reflection of some aspect of your reading/discovery. How and what you write is this reflection is entirely up to you. (Remember if you use outside sources you must cite them.) You should refer to at least one poem by each of the six poets, but do it in an essay form, not individual paragraphs about  each one.

Act 2 features a lot of stage time for Polonius, beginning as it does, with the corrupt transaction with his “spy,” and ending with his decision to use his daughter as “bait” to trap Hamlet.  What do you make of this guy, the powerful Lord Chamberlain and Councillor to the throne of Denmark?  If his name is deliberately derived from the Latin “Polonia,” for “Poland,” and knowing that King Hamlet defeated Poland militarily, how do we see his obsequious service to the Claudius.  What survival strategies does he adopt?   If Ophelia will be bait to trap Hamlet, so too are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, hired by the King and Queen.  Horatio would seem to be the only honest man, and the only true friend Hamlet has.  How do we see him develop from Act 1 to Act 2?  Again, these questions are just some thoughts to think about.  The journal is a place for your thoughts to roam freely. 

The close reading paper asks you to explicate/analyze in detail a short passage from one of the works we have read in the course. 
Edgar Allan Poe, “The Fall of the House of Usher”
Begin by selecting a passage.  Closely analyze a theme, image, or other meaningful pattern that you notice in the passage.  How does what you have noticed in this passage relate to the overall design, structure, and/or meaning of the larger text? What are the larger implications of your analysis—both for understanding the passage and the whole work and for considering the place of the work in a broader context of other fiction like it?
As you draft your essay, think carefully about how you will identify and incorporate the passage into your argument.  Should you integrate it in its entirety as a long quotation in your introduction?  Should you announce it in another way in the introduction?  What context does your reader need for understanding the passage and the text from which it comes?  Should you not bother with a long quotation of the passage, but bring in relevant parts of the passage as you are analyzing them?  Note that you may need to draft the full essay before you determine how best to handle the identification and incorporation of the passage itself.
Do not forget that I am looking for a traditional literary critical argument in this assignment.  By “literary critical argument,” I mean that I am expecting you to craft an essay that
presents an introduction that concludes with a thesis statement announcing your interpretive claim about the passage,
proceeds to develop its argument through a series of clearly related body points that cite and analyze specific evidence from the text (and, if needed, other sources), and
ends with a substantive conclusion that spells out the larger implications of your analysis. 
In-text parenthetical citations and works cited entries should follow standard MLA style.

Topic and Essay Requirements
Topic and other Essay Expectations
For this essay, your task is to write an argumentative essay about otherness, as reflected upon in our required sources and as you have seen and/or experienced in our world.
Content Expectations
Your thesis statement should provide a clear argumentative claim that connects the poem and TED Talk to your experiences and/or observations about otherness.  Do NOT use an announcement-style thesis (e.g. “In this essay, I will discuss…” or “This essay will cover…”).
The essay should provide a combination of reasoning and examples to support that thesis statement. When you provide examples to illustrate your ideas, use specific details to support these points and to retain the interest of your audience. 
Your essay will need to do the following (though not necessarily in this order):
discuss the meaning of the Diane Burns’s “Sure You Can Ask Me A Personal Question,”
explore connections between the poem and your own experiences and/or observations about otherness, and
explore connections between Maysoon Zayid’s TED talk, “I got 99 problems … palsy is just one,” and the rest of these ideas.
Source Use Expectations
Within your essay, you are expected to use cited source material from the following:
“Sure You Can Ask Me A Personal Question,” by Diane Burns
“I got 99 problems… palsy is just one,” by Maysoon Zayid
You should use the versions of these sources that are provided here in Canvas. You need to include at least one source sandwich from EACH text.
This is not a research-based essay, so you are not expected to use any other sources.  If you do wish to use any additional sources, you need to obtain my permission to use them at least twenty-four hours before the assignment is due; if you use sources without my permission, you may lose credit on the assignment.
You will need to document your use of all sources according to MLA format. For help with documentation, see the citing resources provided for this unit (in the reading and viewing assignments linked above) and Purdue’s Online Writing LabLinks to an external site..
Structure Expectations
A successful essay will have a clear thesis statement.
A successful essay will have topic sentences that guide a reader through each paragraph of the essay and link the supporting material to the thesis.
See Essay Structure: Visual for more help.
Audience and Style Expectations
Imagine that you are writing this essay for the greater Ohlone College community.
Assume that your audience is not familiar with this assignment or other materials for this course.
You may use the word “I” if you are discussing a relevant personal experience.
Do your best not to use “you” except when directly quoting.
Other Expectations
Your essay must be 1000-1500 + words in length.
Your essay must adhere to MLA format and documentation guidelines.

Reading Response Assignment: Week # 5
Step 1- Complete the reading assignment: Freire and Kohn
Step 2-Annotate the reading by Talking to the Text
Step 3-Please compose two paragraphs identifying Freire’s and Kohn’s main points in the first paragraph. The first sentence should address a common theme. The next six sentences should introduce each reading selection with its main points and titles. Finally, you will need to provide a sentence with a direct quotation, commentary, and parenthetical citation that validates the main point.
In the second paragraph, you have the option to only address one reading selection as it relates to you. However, you may choose to address how you made connections to all. Each paragraph should have at least one direct or indirect quotation from the reading to support your claims. Please use MLA format. In addition, the required length of each paragraph must be at least 8 sentences long. 
Example: 
Paragraph 1- example
Many people have a desire to graduate college one day; however, without the proper motivation, this desire is simply a dream. Johnathan Williams argues that people need to physically write their educational goals on paper and post them, so they can visually be reminded of  their commitment to success, in his article, “I Need a Degree.” Williams pushes many of his friends to succeed in small goals because “small successes lead to greater self-esteem and more motivation” (32). Next, Rebecca Cox strongly believes that many irrational fears can adversely affect first-year college students’ success in college unless they have a fear-management strategy, in her article, “The Student Fear Factor.” According to Cox, many  English students are simply overwhelmed by the volume of expectations and assignments and will say, “I’m not going to be able to make it”, when all they need to do is find a support network for the courses they have (20). For example, write two more sentences that relate to the two articles. Make sure to include content in your own words. As a result of  success building strategies, many people have graduated from college, started businesses, and accomplished their goals.
Paragraph 2- example
The portion of William’s article where he described how he helped his best friend was compelling to me because it reminded me of the time when my God -Father helped me to overcome my fear of writing. In this portion of the article, Williams told his friend that not helping his best friend in life would be an eternal stain on his permanent record in Heaven (33). My God-father told me that I had to succeed because I represented him. He could write well, and he was determined to teach me the tenets  of writing. I wanted to write well. I listened to everything my God-father shared with me, just like Williams’s best friend listened to him. I practiced day and night using the skills my mentor gave me. I am sure the best friend followed instructions too. In the end, I accomplished my goal of becoming a better writing  much in the same measure of success as the best friend who graduated from college in the article.

[1] Assignment Guide: The Persuasive Letter
ASSIGNMENT PROMPTFor this assignment, you will be writing a letter compelling a friend or family member to change either a behavior or a belief with which you disagree. Choose your own topic, but for example, this letter could petition an enthusiastic neighbor to scale down his blinding Christmas decorations, an immature cousin to take a gap year between high school and college, a grandparent to vote to pass the new school district budget, a friend to stop drinking, or a spouse to reconcile with an estranged sibling. Because the letter will be written to an individual of your choosing, you must tailor your language and logic to the person to whom you are writing.
ASSIGNMENT-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS:Length: This assignment should be at least 750 words.
Thesis: Underline your thesis statement or the main claim of your letter.
Sources Needed: None required. Cite if used, following MLA guidelines.
Page Formatting: Use MLA guidelines. Also add an opening salutation (e.g. Dear Sarah, or Hello, Jon.), and a closing salutation & signature (Best regards, Tom or Sincerely, Liza)

[2] Assignment Guide: The Compare/Contrast Essay
ASSIGNMENT PROMPTFor this assignment, you will be writing a compare/contrast essay–an exploratory piece of writing in which you attempt to show readers how two topics are similar, different, or a combination of the two: both similar and different. Whether you focus exclusively on comparing, exclusively on contrasting, or a mix of both, is totally up to you. However, regardless of which approach you decide to take, you will want to include a strong thesis/claim statement, at least three effective supporting points, and a streamlined point-by-point organizational strategy.
ASSIGNMENT-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS:Length: This assignment should be at least 750 words.
Thesis: Underline your thesis statement or the main claim of your essay.
Sources Needed: Two reliable and credible sources are required for this assignment. Be sure to use MLA guidelines for all in-text and Works Cited citations.
While we encourage you to acquire sources from Gale’s Opposing Viewpoints, you may access credible, scholarly sources from other resources. Tertiary sources, such as online encyclopedias, dictionaries and Wikipedia, are not scholarly sources, and should not be cited within your work; however, they may offer helpful foundational information as you develop your understanding of an issue. (For more information, please review Berkley University’s resource on scholarly and popular sources: “Evaluating Resources.”)
