Write a 750-1,000-word essay that analyzes the rhetorical situation of a public document. This public document is the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) website on Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) found at: http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/facts.html. Your analysis should include at least TWO scholarly sources outside of class texts.

1. Introduces and summarizes the CDC website on ADHD.
2. Analyzes the rhetorical tools used on the site (here, you will want to incorporate ideas from your preanalysis below). For instance, your essay could analyze the CDC’s use of ethos, pathos, and logos.

Using primary and secondary sources, research Companies for Business Report Project.

Primary sources provide raw information and first-hand evidence. Examples include interview transcripts, statistical data, and works of art. A primary source gives you direct access to the subject of your research. The person who wrote the paper would use their paper as a primary source. Everyone else who uses this paper would use it as a secondary source since you did not write it.

Secondary sources provide information and commentary from other researchers (their primary source). Examples include journal articles, reviews, and academic books. A secondary source describes, interprets, or synthesizes primary sources.

Primary sources are more credible as evidence, but good research uses both primary and secondary sources. Do not use Wikipedia or any other open-source resource as they are not entirely credible by their very nature.
