Your first task is to select which of the three types of documents you will compose. For the
résumé and cover letter, identify an actual job to apply for.

Part II.
Identify your audience characteristics as relevant to your rhetorical situation {age, gender,
background, education, occupation, political affiliation, beliefs/values, subject area
knowledge, and discourse community}.

Part III.
List and discuss the rhetorical strategies you will use to engage your targeted audience
{document structure, document format, diction, sentence structure, organization,
development types, appeals (ethos, logos, pathos), purpose strategy, avoiding or analyzing
fallacies}.

Note: Parts I-III will constitute the reflection that you will do on the first page of your final
project; see Submission Instructions on the last page of this prompt.

Part IV.
Compose two documents effectively framed to appeal to your target audience and to
achieve your purpose. Your final documents should demonstrate good audience analysis,
framing skills, and effective use of rhetorical strategies.
Prompt: Craft documents corresponding to one of the three tasks you chose (job/career,
grad school, advocacy letters). On page one of your final project, write a reflection/plan
covering Parts I through III above. The next pages will be your actual documents.

Criteria for Evaluation: Successful projects earning a “C” or above will accomplish the
following tasks:
1. Reflect thoughtful rhetorical strategies for your targeted audiences.
2. Reflect depth and breadth of preparation, such as what you did in Project 3.
