The Profile Essay
Using the plans you outlined in last week’s
Profile Process Piece assignment, you are now ready to compose the Profile
essay. Be sure to read this week’s lecture and Chapter 5 in your text for more
information about writing profiles, keeping these key components in mind:
·
Profiles take a specific angle
that shares a significant issue, important contribution, or surprising quality
of a person, place, or event with which you have first-hand experience.
·
Profiles are not full life
stories; instead, they share a fresh perspective on a larger issue.
·
Profiles require writers to
take a close look at a subject and use detail and description to bring the
subject to life.
·
The subject of the Profile
should focus on a local person you know, a place you have visited, or an event
you have attended, meaning the subject should be a part of your local
neighborhood, community, or town.
·
The audience of the Profile
essay is the local community. Imagine the readers as neighbors and local
community members.
The best topics and angles are those that
are interesting to the writer. Be sure to choose a subject that is fascinating
to you and that you’d like to learn more about. Also consider that your chosen
subject and the angle you choose should be of interest to your audience.
Outside research is not required for this essay and is discouraged. If there
has been published information regarding your subject that will help add
insight to your essay, please include it; however, all research you do must be
documented in APA style (for in-text citations and a Reference page). Be sure
to check with your professor if you have questions about integrating research.
The grading rubric for this essay is available in Doc Sharing.
Additional requirements include
·
two to three double-spaced
pages, not including the title page;
·
typed and submitted to the Week
2 Dropbox in Microsoft Word 2010 (.docx); and APA standards for formatting,
including 12-point font, and
·
APA cover page, running heads,
and page numbers.
Please be sure to review the tutorial on
formatting an APA paper and title page.
Week 3
Rhetorical Analysis Planning Sheet
This week, you will be working on the
Rhetorical Analysis by starting to draft and organize your ideas. You will
submit a Rhetorical Analysis Planning Sheet this week to the Dropbox for your
professor to grade. The purpose of this assignment is to begin collecting
information and putting it in writing as you prepare for the 3- to 4-page final
Rhetorical Analysis you will submit in Week 4. First, read this week's lesson
and begin Chapter 8 in your text. Then go to the search engine of your choice
and search for a print advertisement to use as the subject of your Rhetorical
Analysis. You will need to provide a URL for your chosen ad, so be sure it is
available online. Your chosen ad can be current or vintage. If you would like
to analyze an ad from a different time period, type the phrase "vintage
ads" into your browser. Choose an ad that you can analyze based on its
rhetorical appeals (reasoning, character, and emotion), and be sure the ad you
choose is intriguing to you. Please make sure that your chosen ad is
appropriate for classroom use and the workplace. Locate the file “Week 3 Rhetorical
Analysis Planning Sheet template” in Doc Sharing. Use this template and follow
the format provided to create your planning sheet this week. You’ll need to
identify and describe the ad, draft a thesis, identify the use of rhetorical
appeals, and draft a conclusion. At the end of your extended draft outline,
copy and paste the URL or website address for your ad (it will begin with
http://) so that your readers can also view the ad.
Successful assignments will:
1. identify an advertisement, current or vintage, that’s appropriate
for a college-level audience;
2. include a draft of the introduction and conclusion (minimum of one
paragraph each);
3. include a tentative thesis statement at the end of the
introduction;
4. include details to establish the visual description and context of
the ad;
5. identify the various ways rhetorical appeals are used; and
6. be typed and submitted as a Microsoft Word 2010 document (.docx)
using 12-point font.

The Commentary Reflection and Postscript
We began this class by thinking about the different intentions we have in conveying meaning through our written messages. You’ve been pushed throughout this session to use writing as a means of exploring the world around you and as a convoy for making new meaning and helping to frame your point of view. The hard work of drafting, researching, and revising is behind you. Now it’s time to reflect on all that you have learned and the ways in which you have grown as a writer. In a brief reflective postscript, please answer the following questions as they relate to your writing process throughout the Commentary essay: What new insights have you gained on your Commentary topic throughout the process of drafting, researching, and revising? Did your point of view change at all? If so, how or why? You began to conduct and incorporate academic research during the writing and planning of your Commentary essay. How well-prepared do you feel about conducting academic research? Please elaborate on your response. How might you contribute to the public conversation about your Commentary topic now that you have invested so much time writing and researching about it? Are there any public forums or conversations to which you might contribute your writing or ideas? Did you incorporate changes into your final essay based on your peers’ feedback? If so, please describe the types of changes you made and why you made them. If you did not incorporate changes, please explain why. Did reviewing the work of your classmates help you to understand other points of view? Please explain how or why. Did reviewing the work of your classmates provide you with additional writing strategies? Please explain how or why. Assignment Requirements Reply to each question above with at least one full paragraph, making your full postscript approximately 2 pages. Because this assignment asks you to reflect on personal experiences, you do not need to incorporate research or an APA title page. Postscripts should be written in first person. The post-script should be typed and submitted as a Microsoft Word 2010 document (.docx), with 12-point font and double spacing. Please note that Week 8 closes on Saturday at 11:59 pm MT. The Postscript assignment must be submitted by this date. Please be sure to review the rubric for this week’s assignment in Doc Sharing. See the Syllabus section "Due Dates for Assignments & Exams" for due date information.
