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, an APA cover page,
running heads, and page numbers.
Please be sure to review the tutorial on formatting an APA paper
and title page.

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

week 8
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.
