Activities 23-24
Read the writing assignment carefully. In particular, try to answer the following questions about the assignment:
• What genre is the prompt asking you to generate? Is it a letter, an essay, a report, an email, or something else?
• What format will this follow?
• What are the reader’s expectations for this genre likely to be?
• What is your rhetorical purpose (raise readers’ awareness, persuade people to behave differently? entertain?)?
• What kind of support would be most appropriate to use?
• How will you use the readings to inform and support your writing?
