Course Objectives Practiced
• To improve students’ analytical skills in reading and writing; to explore through

Description
You will write 1,500 words as you analyze 3-4 persuasive texts about your chosen issue
that are in at least 2 different genres. The texts can be written, audio, visual, or
multimedia. You will then reflect on what strategies and approaches you are interested
in using in the Synthesis Project.
For each text you analyze, you will do the following:
1. Provide a link to or screenshot of the text.
2. Write 1 paragraph about the audience the text is trying to persuade and what
audience the text invokes. Include specific textual references to support your
claim.
3. Write 1 paragraph about the genre of the text, the affordances and constraints of
the genre, how the text meets or breaks away from genre conventions, and what
action the genre takes. Use specific textual references or descriptions to support
your anaysis.
4. Write 1 paragraph about the exigency of the text, both what seems to have
prompted the author to create the text and how the text creates exigency for the
audience. Use specific examples to support your analysis.
For the reflection, you will do the following:
1. Explain what you found interesting, effective, or ineffective about the texts you
analyzed.
2. Describe what strategies or approaches you would like to imitate in the Synthesis
Project.
3. Describe what you would like to do differently in the Synthesis Project.
You will include a Works Cited in a citation style you are comfortable with for all sources
you use for this project.
Requirements
• The analysis section and reflection section should add up to at least 1,500 words.
