Major Assignment

11/7: Drafting Workshop

You have all class period today to work on your Rhetorical Analysis of Local Activism website.

As a reminder, I want to see the following pages on your website:

  • Exigence as homepage & introduction
  • Rhetor
  • Audience
  • Constraints
  • Works Cited

Each page above should engage both the activist organization you’ve chosen AND Grant-Davie’s article (available on Blackboard). I will show you how to create a new website and give editorial access to your partner.

I will circulate to answer questions.
