After you;ve created a text for the genre shift, you will turn in a Writers Statement that aims to inform and persuade an outside audience of the rhetorical savvy of your genre shift. Artis

Purpose:

After you've created a text for the genre shift, you will turn in a Writer’s Statement that aims to inform and persuade an outside audience of the rhetorical savvy of your genre shift. Artist’s Statements (or in our case, a Writer’s Statement) often accompany a work of art and function as descriptions of the art from the artist’s perspective. They allow the creator to put the text in context for its audience. As such, it is both a chance to explain your rhetorical choices and an opportunity to convince your audience that your choices are sound. If you had to present and defend your genre shift to a panel of critiques, what would you say?

Audience: 

This Writer’s Statement is a public-facing document. In other words, you are writing for an audience beyond your instructor and even your classmates. Because you are writing for a broader, outside audience, you will need to provide enough context so that your audience understands the significance of your genre shift. After reading your Writer’s Statement, your audience should have a good understanding of the choices you made, why you made them, how they reflect the expectations of your selected genre, and how the choices that you made for your genre shift differ from the choices you made for your text from Module 3.

Task:

You will write a detailed persuasive description, at least 700 words long, where you demonstrate critical thinking about your research process and the rhetorical choices you made while completing this project.  You will also include the ways in which your work all semester has informed your choices for this final project.

Your Writer’s Statement should address three main topics: the rhetorical choices you made in this final project; the ways in which this project was informed by research that you collected; the ways your ideas about writing, rhetoric, and research have changed throughout the semester.

I am providing guiding questions below, but you should not answer the questions in a bulleted list. Instead, this should effectively be a text organized in paragraphs that is clearly and logically organized according to the main points you want to make.You also don’t need to answer every single question listed below. Instead, look over the questions below, come up with a few main ideas that you want to focus on in your Writer’s Statement, and develop those main ideas with details and examples. Use specific examples in each paragraph and make sure each paragraph has a topic.

You should also organize your ideas in the way that makes the most sense, given the topics you will cover: in other words, you should organize your paragraphs so that each one builds on the ideas in the previous paragraph, which might not match the order in which the questions appear below. 

I want you to discuss the three main areas below, but how much you focus on each, and the order in which you do so, should be influenced by the ideas that are most meaningful to you.

Here are some questions to help you brainstorm:

1. Discuss the specific rhetorical situations of your text (in other words, the audience, purpose, and genre). For example, you could consider the following:

· Identify the audience, purpose, and genre of your text(s). Then, describe the specific relationship(s) between the audience, purpose, and genre of your text(s). In other words, why is the genre(s) in which you worked an appropriate choice given your particular purpose and audience? How might another genre have been less effective for achieving your purpose and reaching your audience?

· What design choices did you make as you designed your project? How did the genres in which you were working affect your choices? For example, how did you establish your voice? What visual rhetorical did you use? What choices did you make about structure and organization?

· How do you think the decisions you made with design, genre, visual rhetoric, structure, and/or organization impact your audience and their interactions with your text(s)?

· How were your ideas about audience, purpose, and genre shaped by the conversation you wanted to join?

2. Discuss the process of translating your work from Module 3 into other genre(s). For example, here are some of the things you could discuss: 

· What information from your research did you decide to leave out? In what specific ways did you consider your audience and purpose when making decisions about what to include?

· How did you establish your own credibility in your text. In what ways was it similar to/different from the way you accomplished this in Unit 3?

· What were some differences in the ways you used and cited your sources as compared to earlier assignments in this course? How were these decisions impacted by the differing genres in which you worked? How might these decisions impact your audience and their interactions with the text?

3. Discuss your experiences putting your research and writing into action and the rhetorical nature of research (for this section, consider both your final project and the class as a whole). Use the following prompts to help you generate ideas: 

· After having worked with your research in multiple genres and for various audiences and purposes (Unit 2, Unit 3, Unit 4), what do you now understand about the ways in which research is a rhetorical process shaped by audience, purpose, and genre?

· What do you now understand about research as it exists beyond the classroom, and as it exists in non-academic contexts?

· You might consider what we learned about the conversations we studied in Unit 1 and what that revealed about research, and/or you might consider the ways that your unit projects, including this final one, tried to reach beyond the classroom.

· What do you now understand about the potential for research to spark meaningful change?

· How has the work you completed this semester affected your ideas about/understanding of research?

· How has the work you completed this semester affected your ideas about/understanding of writing and rhetoric?

Polished Writers Statement

Writers statement

The main aim of my research paper is to conduct thorough research on the ban on abortion. This has been a major issue around the globe not only today but also in the olden days. One of the reasons why this issue is of great concern is because most cultures and even religions do not support the issue at all and hence creating a great divide between people. for instance, in the united states, the government allowed for abortions only under some given circumstances but this turned into a great debate when Christians argued that abortion should not be allowed regardless of the situation.

For my research paper, I would like to take an approach that does not show any kind of bias. For instance, if I write a paper that was to suggest that abortion should be encouraged, there might be quite a significant group that will disagree with the issue and even might lose interest in the paper. For this reason, I would like to make the paper an argumentative one where arguments of both sides will be given on a fair basis and the people will decide on their own which side they would like to lean on. By doing so, I believe that I will be able to persuade more readers than when the paper is leaning on one side of the argument.

Persuasion of the audience is also very important as it will help people believe in what you are about to communicate in the research. In this case, I believe that the best way to persuade the readers is by showing them that you understand what they are going through. I have to show the readers that I can sympathize with them. This means that I will show people why I think abortion should be allowed and why I think it should not be allowed. This will help me gain the approval of the audience easily.

In my intent for writing it would be in order to inform and ultimately persuade readers about the importance of the media and it’s role in society. Furthermore, I think that we should exercise critical thinking in determining its role in society as an institution that traditionally has had a lot of power and influence within society. I think that as an institution with such power within society that it is crucial to analyze its shortcomings and what it means for the millions of Americans that trust the media as a reliable source of information. Our literacy in being able to analyze various sources of information and decide whether or not it is worthy of trusting as accurate. This is especially difficult when analyzing trust sources of media, because traditionally they have been regarded as factually correct by the vast majority of institutions are trusted as legitimate, thus we have an inherit bias towards mass media institutions.

Levels of trust in the media according to numerous sources, have been declining for quite some time. More and more people are discontent with the media’s present-day reporting and either turning off the news or looking to an aftermarket of so-called alternative media which often showcases an opinioned spin to the current news cycle, in an attempt to share their ‘truth.’ The concern of what this means for our democracy and society is glaring, if we don’t have a reference for what should be trusted in terms of information validity, it will have real world consequences if what we are consuming for media is less than accurate. Fact-checking websites that fact-check claims made by both people and media publications have exploded since the onslaught of the 2016 election, in which the role of the media became increasingly important as then-candidate Donald Trump became notorious for attacking the media’s credibility.

One rhetorical aspect of the media that has caused controversy in regard to reporting is bias, the style of reporting often showcases biases. I think that this is especially important because It is often a left-wing bias, which causes many on the right to feel as if their style of reporting may not be ‘for them.’ This issue, in spite of its subtlety has real consequences in alienating large amounts of people on the opposing side of the pollical spectrum.

Lastly, I want to mention the relation that this is having to our crisis of information literacy. The media’s crisis in it’s creditability ultimately effects the public’s ability to analyze which sources are trustworthy and which sources shouldn’t be trusted. I think that there is now an atmosphere of criticism from some public circles against reporting on pressing issues such as climate change, race relations, and international relations. This pushback I think is an attempt to determine credible reporting on various stories.

This topic of credibility of the media I think is very important, and I seek to further my research into the topic and analyze the implications of this on society. Through it I hope to bring a sense of clarity towards my audience: the general public. We all deserve to consume accurate information from reliable and creditable sources, by being vigilant in our pursuit of the truth, we can become enlightened by our critical thinking skills.
