In the first part of the reading it
discussed how to write in a rhetorical situation. The key is to connect to the
writing either through an extended, responsive, or challenging way. Make sure
to plan the topic and the message of the assignment because this will be the
main idea of the paper. The choice is usually the instructors but sometimes the
choice could be yours. Don’t hesitate about picking your topic. Make sure to
pick something that actually interests you and that is exciting to learn about
because it makes writing and doing the assignment much easier. Think about what
the audience already knows about the topic and if the style will be formal or
informal. Presentation is a huge part of everything but in this case it is
especially important. Pick a clear and concise language to present it in and
pay attention to time, length, genre, tone, and style. All of these have their
own way of being very effective.
The
second set of readings talks about analyzing and reviewing texts. When
analyzing a text try to know everything possible about it including the
background on the author. Look to see if the author is creditable for the work
they have done. Read and take careful notes on the text. This is the most
important thing one can do to make an effective paper. Look at the text from
all aspects. Who is the author? What is the format of the writing? When all
this is completed make a summary of the main ideas. Look at the main points and
question them. Check the understanding of the points and don’t ever trust or
distrust a source without looking into it yourself. The next step is to look at
the appeal of the text. Is it emotional, ethical, logical, or analyze? If these
steps are followed finding the perfect source should be easy and fast.
