• • Draft 1. 2 • • • To complete this assignment, first evaluate your initial draft (Draft 1. 1) by answering the following questions. Did you select your text and critically read it to determine the writer’s purpose and intended audience for the text? Do you have a good understanding of those elements? Have you analyzed the text so as to determine the specific strategies (rhetorical choices) the writer uses to achieve his or her purpose and to meet the needs of the audience. For example, you might have chosen to look at such elements as the types of evidence a writer puts forward and how he or she does so. Remember that you should have examined several strategies (rhetorical choices), including tone, word choice, and sentence structure. After you determined what these strategies (rhetorical choices) were used, you were to have considered how well these strategies (rhetorical choices) actually worked. If you have not completed any or all of the above, your revisions should start by addressing these concerns. If you did, your revisions might begin with adding additional discussion of the text, or they may begin with a close analysis of your own evidence, sentence structure, word choice, and tone. How could you improve the communication of your own points to your intended readers? Your revised draft should be 1200 -1500 words. Please use MLA format for your works cited and your in-text citations.
