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?
