you will write a 4-6 page paper, 12-point font, double-spaced, in which you will take ONE rhetorical theory and apply it to a text of your choice and analyze how that theory helps you explain why your rhetorical text is persuasive. For example: How do the four analytical components of visual rhetoric theory help us understand why people like the Mona Lisa so much? Another example: how do we use the six tenets of public memory to understand the persuasive components of the Holocaust Museum?
To earn a high grade in this assignment, please attend to the following:
1. Pick a rhetorical text/artifact. This can be a specific: song, piece of art, music video, book, speech, uniform, monument, museum, place, movie, tv show episode/season, or other. Pick something YOU are interested and you want to spend 4-6 pages analyzing why it’s persuasive.
2. Pick a rhetorical theory. Choose a theory we have discussed from this semester to apply to your text. Theories may include: Trust Appeals (ethos, pathos, logos), Rhetorical Situation, Audiences, Personas, Classical Argumentation, Narratives, Publics/Counterpublics, Visual Rhetoric, Public Memory, Rhetorics of Difference, or Disability Rhetorics.
3. Find a minimum of THREE sources to back up your paper. These sources will likely help you in your context section as you explain the text you chose. These sources can be from the internet and Baylor Libraries. Wikipedia does not count as a source. Your sources must be formatted correctly in APA, MLA, or Chicago style to earn credit.
4. Read the sample essays I have provided in Module 5. You will notice these papers are longer and include two theories, as they are part of a full semester’s of work. You will not need to write 6-8 pages and include 2 theories, but these papers will help guide you in my expectations since I cannot work with you on the paper over weeks of the semester.
5. Look at the Final Paper Rubric to understand my grading scheme and more information of each section of the paper. I expect: an intro paragraph with a thesis statement, a page of background context on your rhetorical text (the who/what/when/where/why of your text, and where you will likely use your 3 sources); an explanation of the theory you chose, and then applying the components of that theory to the text to help us understand how your text persuades audiences.
