Module 7 writing prompt

Background and Purpose

For this assignment, you will explore how authors can create authority/ethos within a variety of writing environments. An awareness of authority in writing situations helps as you work to gain membership in the discourse communities, such as that of your major. As a student, you may feel you don’t have authority/ethos in your field, but that shouldn’t stop you from writing as though you do. So this assignment benefits you in two ways: as you are sharpening your skills in assessing other rhetor’s authority, you are also building your own as you compose the text of this assignment.

Compare the decisions made by the authors that accommodate the expectations of their respective audiences. Look at their word choice, their assumptions, their arguments, and their negotiation of authority present in the form of textual signifiers of authority. Your job for this assignment is to draw conclusions about the differences you observe in the texts. Your ultimate goal is to answer this: How and why do authors make adjustments for different discourse communities, different audiences?

This will be somewhat similar to what you wrote in the Module 2 Assignment, except you will be analyzing two, not just one text in order to compare them, with your focus on ethos and authority in the text and its rhetor, and you will be including summaries, paraphrases, and quotations from both texts in order to illustrate your points. Each time you summarize, paraphrase, or quote the essays, you will be using in-text citations to cite these sources properly.

For this assignment, you will need to read the “Ethos and Authority” LibGuide content and view the videos included in Module 7.

Objectives

Analyze how writers navigate authority/ethos in various situations.

From the list of writings included below, select the one which you will be comparing and contrasting with Alice Wong’s “The Last Straw.”
Explain how the language and other textual signifiers of authority used by each rhetor indicate the authors’ ability to respond to audience expectations showcasing their ethos/credibility.

This page will not have annotations under each source.
When you are conducting research, you will use the annotation process to take notes and critique sources for their usefulness. The annotation process will result in your producing an annotated bibliography that is the same as a Works Cited or References page, BUT there will be an annotation under each citation that provides some information about the source that serves as your note taking/ and processing of the information.

Annotations are typically 100-150 words in length and do four things.
1) Identify the author/speaker
2) Identify the source type (web, journal article, video, newspaper, interview, etc.)
3) Summarize the source and note information that you see as particularly relevant. If there is a quote that you think might be useful for your paper, you may include it. This will save you from having to go back to the source and reread as you write your paper.
4) Compare the work to one other source on the topic/ note any strengths or weaknesses. *

When you are annotating your first source, you won’t have anything to compare to. Write the annotation minus the comparison first, and the comparison after you have written other annotations.
