culture

In this discussion, you’ll consider the knowledge and experiences that are used when people come to conclusions about another country or culture. Think of your perspectives on different states within the United States. Your perceptions may come from living there, visiting there, supporting a sports team, hearing about another person’s experience, or from stories in the media. If you live somewhere, you naturally reach different conclusions than someone who has never been to this place. We likely have misconceptions about some places because they are outside of our experience or because we’ve never had cause to learn about them.

What is a conclusion that you have about a country or culture that is different from your own and how did you come to this conclusion? How can you tell if the personal perception of a country or culture is accurate or a stereotype?

Paper 4

Paper 4: Final Paper

You will write an original text of your choice that makes smart rhetorical choices, critically and deeply engages with a topic of your choice, and demonstrates your ability to create a text that is formatted, written, and organized in a manner acceptable within the conventions established by the rhetorical situation (usually closely linked to a certain genre or format of writing) of your paper. 

Drafting

Clear, well organized and logical writing is essential to any disciplinary or professional writing. Plan the order and structure of your paper according to logic and your discipline’s conventions, but you do not have to draft the sections in the order they will finally appear. After you have written your material, arranged it in a logical order, and given it a clear structure, review and revise your draft until the paragraphs and sentences clearly communicate your findings and argument. Refer to the principles of making good rhetorical choices in WCS.

Documentation

Use your discipline’s conventional documentation style (e.g., MLA; APA; Chicago) consistently to attribute information and expression of ideas to your sources. Include a reference or works cited page in the proper format for your disciplinary style. 

Sources: Minimum of 5 credible sources.

Due date: April 28 OR May 5

Annotated Bibliography, Audience Analysis, and Proposal

Paper 3: Annotated Bibliography, Audience Analysis, and Proposal

This assignment focuses on the work that forms the foundation of a research project. You get to continue surveying the current literature on your subject, decide for whom you will be writing, and then lay out how your objectives and how the project will proceed.

Annotated Bibliography 

First, locate 5 credible, respected (probably peer reviewed) sources from within your discipline’s published writing in your field or discipline. Read, annotate, and take notes on these texts; then, create your reference page – properly format it now so you won’t have to later. 

After you have a reference page formatted according to your discipline’s citation style, you get to create an annotated bibliography! 

Use this as a guide for writing your annotated bibliography: 

The annotated bibliography is different from the works cited page in that you must provide a brief, 4-sentence summary beneath each entry: 

Sentence 1: Introduce author and article title and the author’s thesis. Use the ICE Method.  (ICE method – Introduce, Cite, Explain) 

Sentence 2: Explain how the author supports his/her thesis/argument. 

Sentence 3: Explain why the author wrote the article. What is their purpose? What are they trying to accomplish? 

Sentence 4: Explain how the author’s article is relevant to your own research. How will you use the source?

Proposal

After you have created an annotated bibliography and conducted an audience analysis, you must complete a project proposal in preparation for Paper 4. The proposal should fit the writing conventions of your field (this will likely require some research), and I must approve it before you begin working on Paper 4.
