Background: Evaluating rhetorical choices found in journal articles is a great way to think critically about choices you can make as an undergraduate writer in the disciplines. To complete this process, you must pay careful attention to choices an article’s author has made; evaluate whether important choices from the article are effective for the article’s rhetorical situation; decide whether choices you’ve noticed while reading are appropriate for your own writing tasks. This assignment takes you through this process, asking you first to evaluate whether choices you have found in a journal article are effective for the article’s rhetorical situation and then to predict whether those choices may be appropriate for undergraduate writing situations in your field.
Prompt: How effective is a recurring rhetorical choice found in a journal article in your discipline? Would that choice be appropriate for undergraduate writing situations in that discipline? Identify a recurring rhetorical choice found in a journal article from your field, evaluate whether that choice is effective for the article’s purpose, audience, or genre, and then predict whether the choice would be appropriate for a purpose, audience, or genre that you expect to encounter as an undergraduate writer in your field.
