Can I work in a group? Sure! As long as all members equally contribute to all parts of the process and final project. Groups should be no larger than 3. You will all receive the same final score.
Do I have to analyze Lincoln's rhetorical devices? No. This part of the assignment challenges YOU to use some interesting and effective rhetorical devices and strategies in your own writing.
If I write a song or a poem, do I still need in-text citations? YES! No matter what your final project is, you must have in-text citations.
If I write song lyrics, a speech, an interview, or a debate, do I need to record it? No. If you do this extra step, and all parts of the project are done well, we will add 20% extra credit to your final score. In order to receive extra credit, you must present your final project to the class.
