Introduction
Before writing your journal, choose one group of texts to view from the below options. Watch and read through the material carefully, making notes as you go of the obvious differences in how the texts differ in their approach to similar topics.
Assignment
In a brief journal, compare and contrast the three texts in your chosen group. Do not discuss your feelings on the subject matter of the texts. Instead, offer a brief rhetorical analysis of each. You may address the following prompts in your response:
How would you describe the tone of each?
How would you describe the bias of each?
Who is the intended audience? How do you know?
What research did the writer/ speaker do to understand the topic? Describe the research process as it is articulated in the texts (this may be implied and not explicitly reported).
Identify the specific ways in which the academic approach to research and writing differs from the other forms of popular media.
