- To start, you will find two credible sources on the approved topic. The two sources should be different from each other in terms of at least one of the following: audience, purpose, genre. For example, you can find a persuasive source and an informative source (that would be two different purposes); or you can find a source that’s written for scientists and one that’s written for a general audience. However, both should be written texts (do not use videos or other media).
- Summarize each of the sources and discuss how their arguments compare: What do they agree on? How did they build on each other? What did you learn from one source that you didn’t learn from the other source? Which do you think was most useful to helping you understand the topic and why? Was that related to the information included, or the way that information was "packaged"?
3.
Analyze the rhetorical choices made by each text, paying particular attention to how the sources are different from each other. You'll want to consider how they are different (in terms of audience, purpose, and genre), what stylistic choices they make, and how their differences shape how these texts can participate in the conversation. Please use specific examples from the text to support your analysis. Your answer for the rhetorical analysis section should be at least 300 words long.
