Assignment : Rhetorical Modes Essay
Introduction
In the previous two major writing assignments, you presented persuasive and descriptive essays on topics you chose to discuss.
In this assignment, you will again choose a topic, but this time you will also decide what rhetorical mode most appropriately matches your chosen topic, whether cause/effect, division/classification, or process writing. Some topics allow for development using any of the modes, but the resulting essay is quite different in terms of content. For example, a biologist could discuss a particular species of animal.
If the decision was made to discuss the species in terms of cause and effect, the resulting essay would look at environmental factors that encouraged and/or limited that species' development (or perhaps, effects upon the ecology resulting from introducing the species into a new environment).
Alternatively, the animal species could be described in terms of its sub-types and the biological categories of which it is a member. This would require a division/classification essay. Finally, the discussion could concentrate upon attempts to eradicate it from an environment where it is considered a pest. Such discussion would produce a process essay.
Instructions
At the beginning of Unit 9, get started by proposing a topic for this essay and receiving approval from your Open Learning Faculty Member. This assignment is due for marking at the end of Unit 9. Carefully study the assignment instructions and criteria for evaluation before choosing a topic and starting work on this essay.
Plan, write, edit, and submit a short original essay (800-1,000 words) in which you present specific and relevant information regarding your chosen topic. Your essay must have careful discussion in which you choose and develop a proper rhetorical mode suited to your topic of discussion.
You must articulate your ideas clearly, and your essay must be well organized in terms of both the individual paragraphs and of the essay overall. You must edit your work very carefully.
