Question: In this writing, you will demonstrate your genre, audience, and lexis awareness by making choices to shape various texts to reflect these concepts. While you will be provided with one specific scenario, you will need to respond to several individual rhetorical situations created by this scenario, composing each required text for a specific audience, following the conventions of a specific genre, and including appropriate language for that audience and that genre. Please, label each Rhetorical Situation clearly with a subheading, and compose your response to it beneath the subheading. The last subheading will be "Mini-Reflection," explained at the end of this prompt.
Here is the scenario:
To say that today was one of the most disappointing and stressful days of your life would be an understatement of great proportions. The assignment you submitted in your English class has been flagged as plagiarized, and rightfully so. You did copy significant chunks of the writing from a website, just to quickly submit something and not get a zero because you procrastinated and then your roommate talked you into going to the beach for the whole weekend. You have been notified by your English professor that he was reporting you to the Academic Honesty Committee, and chances are that you will be suspended for this infraction. Your basketball scholarship depends on your grades, so now you are really worried.
Rhetorical Situation 2
This stressful day is almost over, but you cannot sleep and reach out for your diary/journal to record your thoughts that are now keeping you awake. You have been journaling every night before going to sleep. This is a commitment you made to yourself as you got accepted to the university on your basketball scholarship. You thought it would be a great idea to write down at the moment something that later on in your life you would be able to reminisce about. Clearly today was rough, so you are now using the pages so "make sense of it all" in tonight's journal entry. Consider the audience, language, details for this journal entry.
