ENC 4415 Final ProjectDue Wednesday Dec. 9thby NoonOut of a possible 25 pointsThroughout the semester, we discussed how to analyze and critique the changing mediums of our communicationand the rhetoric surrounding digital technologies. The final project is an opportunity to apply what you learned by creating an analytic project, meaning your final project needs to be driven by ideas and explicationrather than descriptions and summaries.You will produce your own digital text that creates and defends an original argumentrelating todigital rhetoric, and you will support your claim(s)with evidence from a variety of scholarly and internet sources.The final projectwill have two parts: 1) the digital textyou createand 2) a short paper explaining your text.The first step is to think of an issue or topic that you are interested in; feel free to use our class discussions asinspiration. Then, consider which aspects of rhetoric to apply to your topic to structure your argument and analysis. Because digital rhetoric is a broad area of study, you will need to clearly define and narrow the scope of your project. You will also need to research your topic to provide support and context for your argument. What have other scholars said about the topic? Who is the audience for your topic? Your Project Proposal and Annotated Bibliography will help you with the research for your final project.Hereare some exampleproject topics, butfeel free to come up with your own topics
