In your last project, you started to put your research to work by writing a web text for a public audience. However, as we’ve learned all semester, there are many ways to participate in a conversation online–and, importantly, the mode, genre, audience, and purpose affect how we participate in those conversations and the way we use research. The goal in this project is for you to explore a different way to participate in the same conversation you’ve been working in since Module 2 by “re-packaging” your research to reach a new audience or to achieve a different purpose.
What is this project?
This project has two parts. Each is worth 50% of your grade for this project.
First, you will shift the text you created in Unit 3, so that it now addresses a different audience, for a different purpose, in a different genre (at least 2 out of 3 of these must be different than the document you created for Unit 3). I will provide some options for audiences, purposes, and genres, but you will have the freedom to select the rhetorical situations that interest you the most and that you find most compelling given your topic and research. While all writing is creative, we will refer to this first half of the project as your “creative text” because I want to encourage you to experiment and take risks as you design a text for your chosen rhetorical context.
For the second part of this project, after you have composed your creative text, you will write a critical reflection detailing your experience of using research to write in two different contexts (that is, for your Unit 3 project and for your Unit 4 project).
Importantly, in order to shift, that means you are keeping the same topic and research question as you used in the previous unit.
