Directions
For this assignment, you will develop a 1250-1500 word rhetorical analysis of a published article.

Step One
Choose an article that interests you.It is important to choose an article that makes a substantial argument for you to analyze. My suggestion is to go the the website of journals that specialize in the longer persuasive essays such as The New Yorker (Links to an external site.) or Slate (Links to an external site.). You will submit your article for instructor approval. Please choose an understandable article that interests you.

OR

Choose one of these famous speeches that make substantial arguments using many of the persuasive techniques studied in class. If you choose a speech, listen to the speech as you read along with the text.

https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm
https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/jfkinaugural.htm
https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/fdrpearlharbor.htm
https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/hillaryclintonbeijingspeech.htm

The https://www.americanrhetoric.com/ website has many other possibilities.

Step Two
Submit the topic proposal sheet by the due date on Canvas. DO NOT continue with this assignment until you have approval for the article you have chosen. Submit even if you are choosing one of the suggested speeches as this is worth points.

Step Three
Carefully read the article/speech and determine subject matter and goals of the author. What is the author’s purpose? Who is the author’s audience? Where and when was the article published? You will need to do some research here as you discuss the rhetorical situation.

Step Four
Analyze the rhetorical elements of the author’s writing style. Writers and speakers use words in language in different ways to achieve different effects. Rhetoric recognizes that a speaker or writer persuades his audience with different tools and techniques. Aristotle categorized rhetoric into three categories: logos, ethos and pathos. Logos uses reason and rationality to persuade the reader. Ethos seeks to persuade the reader by appealing to credibility of the writer or another expert. The expert’s authority, rather than the evidence itself, convinces the reader. Pathos attempts to make the case by appealing to the reader at an emotional level. Pathos may appeal to the reader’s sympathy or compassion, sadness or anger, love or hatred and so forth. Read the text and take notes about the different rhetorical styles used.

Step Five
Write an outline for the rhetorical analysis. The analysis should have three parts: an introduction, a main body and a conclusion. Divide the main body of the analysis into sections. The sections may be devoted to the different rhetorical elements used in the text. You can devote the first section to examining the context of the argument, another to the author’s attitude and tone, another to the rhetorical strategies (analyzing the author’s tone), and another to the persuasive appeals.

Structure
Introduction: In the introduction, do not forget to introduce the article you will be analyzing. Give the name of the article and the author. Also, state where the article was published and what the main points were. Write a strong thesis sentence that clearly states the main points of the analysis. Outline the steps of your argument in the last one or two sentences of the introduction.

Body: Present the different elements of your analysis (context, author’s attitude and tone, modes of persuasion, and rhetorical strategies) in the main body of the paper. Cite examples from the text as evidence for your analysis. Keep in mind that any of the four sections may be more than one paragraph. It depends on your analysis. For example, if you feel that the modes of persuasion are crucial to understanding the article, then you may decide to devote more than one paragraph to that section. This may be true for any of the four sections of the essay. Write as many paragraphs as needed, but make sure that each paragraph has proper structure (topic sentence and supporting detail).

Conclusion: Write a one paragraph conclusion that summarizes the central points of the analysis. Summarize the main points and do not make any new claims.

Review this template as one way to set up your essay.

Essay Checklist:

– 1250-1500 words
– Proper essay structure (Explanation can be found within the Essay Resources Module).
– Proper MLA formatting and documentation.
– You need at least five textual references (quotes) supporting your main points.
– If you use outside sources, cite them on a works cited page as well as within the text.
– Do not refer to the author by his or her first name.
– Careful editing and revising.
– Careful reading and viewing of all assignment resources.

Choose a focused, specific topic. This paper should involve a thesis and an argument; it should not be a dictionary or web-type summary of general information. Spelling, grammar, clarity, and style will count. Please use at least two sources beyond our textbooks, and remember to cite your sources. Citations and works cited pages should be in MLA style (for online information about citations, see http://libraries.iub.edu/help-citing-sources). Wikipedia should not be quoted or cited as a source, but feel free to consult it at your own risk. Articles or other sources documented at the bottom Wikipedia entries may be cited, but you should review them.
Therefore, be sure to write in your own words. When in doubt it is always better to make a citation.
PLEASE HAND IN A HARD COPY OF YOUR PAPER AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS AFTER UPLOADING IT TO CANVAS IN THE ASSIGNMENTS SECTION.
Sample topics:
1. Write a close reading or close listening account of a popular song. The Beckerman article on “White Christmas” (find it at the beginning of the songbook) is a good example of this. So are the parts of the essays in Friedwald that discuss the structure and meaning of the songs, if a bit long for our purposes.
2. Survey a variety of interpretations of a popular song of your choice. See Friedwald for a sample survey of important interpretations of the songs. What changes in the different interpretations? Differences in tempo, style, instrumentation (arrangement), added music (or not). All can be interesting to discuss. Show that you know something about the song and the lyrics.
3. Discuss changing technological (i.e. media) and social aspects of songwriting. Furia shows how the interaction between the music industry and composers/lyricists in Tin Pan Alley has been influential on musical creation. Bear in mind the evolution of technology in music distribution and performance. Here you must be specific and go beyond internet information.
4. Analyze a variety of songs by a singer of your choice. You might want to think of a common thread connecting them.
5. Pick out any two “breakthrough” songs and discuss them. What is the relationship between the songs? How are they similar or different? How do they respond to different external factors? What was going on in the lives of the songwriter or songwriters when they were written?
6. Pick out a song that has an important historical backstory (World War I, World War II, the Depression, Prohibition). How does knowing this background help our understanding of the song?
7. Discuss why you think a few particular songs were hits and continued to be popular. Is it because of their lyrics or music? Do they have a certain resonance with the culture of the time? Are they associated with any particular famous performers?
8. Discuss one of the essential materials of song (rhythm, melody, harmony, symbol, metaphor) in a few different songs of your choice and describe what is going on.
9. Think of your own topic but clear it with me.

Assessment 1 Instructions: Critical Thinking in Action
Write a 3-5 page academic paper in which you describe a business situation, apply a critical thinking framework to the situation, and recommend evidence-based solutions to the situation. Explain how the concepts of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) could affect both the situation and the solution.
Introduction
This portfolio work project will give you practice with academic writing expectations, while still being work-relevant. Many organizations have relationships with professional associations and contribute written articles regularly to newsletters and other publications. In addition, some organizations expect leaders to participate in conferences and seminars, where written work must be submitted using an academic style.
Scenario
From time to time, your organization submits papers to academic publications to help showcase the organization’s thought leadership. Your boss wants to be assured that you are comfortable researching and writing in a style that many academic publications use—in this case, APA style.
Your Role
Your boss has asked you to research and write about ways that businesses can apply critical thinking skills to complex issues that are also affected by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). To gain an understanding of how businesses apply critical thinking, you have decided to read an article about Panera Bread Co. and how they solved their mosh pit problem. Then, you will choose another company that you know has a problem you believe good critical thinking and understanding of VUCA can address, allowing you to flex some critical thinking muscles, similar to the leadership at Panera.
Requirements
Use the following as the basis for this assessment:
Jargon, J. (2017, June 2). How Panera solved its mosh pit problem. The Wall Street Journal.
George, B. (2017, February 17). VUCA 2.0: A strategy for steady leadership in an unsteady world. Forbes. Retrieved from https://www.forbes.com/sites/hbsworkingknowledge/2017/02/17/vuca-2-0-a-strategy-for-steady-leadership-in-an-unsteady-world/#5972d07613d8
Kallet, M. (2014). Think smarter: Critical thinking to improve problem-solving and decision-making skills. Hoboken, NJ: Wiley & Sons.
This e-book is an easy read on how to use critical thinking to problem solve. In particular, focus on section I, “Introduction and the Framework for Critical Thinking,” section V, “Decisions,” and the final section, “Critical Thinking: Summary and Suggestions.”

Think about how critical thinking and VUCA factored into Panera’s situation, using the Wall Street Journal article above. Then, think of a problem you have seen at a business you visited or read about in an article, and do any research you feel is necessary to thoroughly understand the problem this company has and to address this assessment.
• Write an APA-formatted paper that is well organized and covers the following:
• Write an introduction that tells the reader what to expect of this paper (1 paragraph).
• Provide an overview of the Panera bread situation, including brief mention of how critical thinking and VUCA factored into the resolution. Then, transition to a discussion of the problem you will be solving for another company, describing the situation (3–4 paragraphs).
• Apply the framework for critical thinking as outlined by Kallet to the problem you identified.
• Recommend at least one evidence-based solution to the situation.
• You must find one additional article to support your recommendation.
• Explain how VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) could affect both the situation and your recommendation (1–2 paragraphs).
• Write a conclusion that wraps up and summarizes your document (1 paragraph).
