Minimum of 500 words for the Multigenre Persuasive Campaign; Minimum of 1,000 typed, polished words for the Rhetorical
Rationale)
This assignment asks you to take a stance on the topic or issue that you have identified within your declared,
or prospective, academic major. Drawing from your investigative field research and your analysis of the
rhetorical strategies employed by your discourse community, compose three new texts in different genres to
convince your audiences to take action.
To begin, you will take a stance and develop your argument based on the information you have gleaned from
the first and second projects. Then, you will identify your audiences; that is, you will decide what audiences
would (or should) respond to your argument. For this project, you are required to address at least two unique
audiences. Making your audience more concrete and specific will make your rhetorical task easier and will
result in a more successful project. Once you have identified your audiences, you will want to consider which
three genres will be most effective for reaching your chosen audiences. Your genres are your choice, but this
choice should be informed by your analysis and assessment of your rhetorical situation. Finally, you will
compose your three genres, developing a researched argument that will target the specific audience you
identify.
In addition, you will write a rationale that explains the rhetorical choices you made when composing in each
genre and how you see those choices as effective for your purpose, audience, and context. You should explain
not only what you did but also why you did it. Finally, your rationale should evaluate the effectiveness of
your choices (as indicated by feedback you received on drafts), acknowledging when something didn’t work
as you intended.
Documentation Style: The three compositions should use formatting and citation styles appropriate for the
selected genres; the Rhetorical Rationale may be crafted using the documentation style of your field, but it
must be formatted in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, double-spaced.
