In summary writing, you demonstrate your comprehension of a text or piece of media. The purpose of a summary is to provide an overview of a text for an audience who may not be familiar with it. For this assignment, imagine your audience is comprised of other Writing 121 students who are familiar with the issues we are discussing in class but who have not read this specific essay or seen this video. To achieve this over-arching purpose, your summary will need to achieve the following: • Identify the text by author and title • Briefly explain necessary contextual information, such as where and when the piece was published • Identify the author's central argument and supporting claim(s) • Describe (in brief) the evidence or logic the author provides to supports claims • The paragraph should follow conventions of closed-form prose and demonstrate unity, coherence, and development
In analytic writing, you present your interpretation of the text and support that reading with evidence from the text. The rhetorical purpose of an analysis is to explain (some aspects of) how a text works to an audience and support that interpretation. In this second paragraph, you demonstrate your rhetorical understanding of the text. Your analysis can focus on one or more of the following question sets: • Describe the author or creator's purpose and target audience(s) • Identify 2-3 moves the author or creator makes to appear credible and appeal to the target audience • Evaluate the effectiveness of the text. Does the author or creator achieve his/her rhetorical goals? Which strategies make this text successful or unsuccessful? The paragraphs should follow conventions of closed-form prose, with a topic sentence that establishes your claim followed by supporting evidence from the text. Connect your summary and analysis paragraphs into a cohesive whole, allowing the information you presented in summary to inform the moves you make to analyze the piece.
