Assignment task:
Rhetorical Memo on White Paper: Social Media and Its Impact on Young Children: Recommendations
For this individual assignment, you will discuss the white paper you wrote collaboratively from a rhetorical and process-based perspective. That means you are talking about what choices you made as a writer and why, as well as what choices you'd make differently and why. (In the interest of time, you will not actually be making any changes to the white paper; you will simply talk about them in this memo.) In particular, you should discuss the following: • Who was your audience for the white paper? What specific choices did you make as writers to reach this audience? How effective was this, in your opinion? What would you do differently, if anything? • What was your purpose for the white paper? What specific choices did you make as writers to achieve this purpose? How effective was this, in your opinion? What would you do differently, if anything? • How did you organize the white paper? What informed your decision to organize in this way? How effective was this, in your opinion? What would you do differently, if anything? • How did you support your recommendation in the white paper? What specific choices did you make as writers to demonstrate this support? How effective was this, in your opinion? What would you do differently, if anything? • How did you establish ethos in the white paper? What specific choices did you make as writers to achieve this? How effective was this, in your opinion? What would you do differently, if anything? • How did you format the white paper? What specific choices did you make as writers when doing this? How effective was this, in your opinion? What would you do different, if anything? • What other decisions did you make as writers when composing the white paper? What guided these decisions? How effective were they, in your opinion? What would you do differently, if anything?
