Question: How can we effectively address the weather patterns changing because of climate changes?

Motivation: What do you hope to learn or gain personally through working on this assignment?

Topic: What are you writing about? What is your personal motivation for selecting this topic? How does this topic fit the scope of the assignment?

Audience: For Project 3, your audience must be scholarly or university-based. Imagine a specific audience that might hypothetically read your essay (i.e., a student group on campus interested in your topic or topics similar to your topic). What audience do you imagine? Before reading your argument, what do you imagine your readers will think about your topic? Do you imagine they will be sympathetic, neutral, or antagonistic? Are they undecided, puzzled, and skeptical? Are they instead resistant/hostile to your viewpoint? Will they need to learn new information on your topic, and if so, what information and how can you best convey it? Describe in a few sentences your specific, chosen audience and their predisposition to your argument.

Exigency: In order to engage an audience in any argument, you must explain why it matters at this time, at this place, and to this specific group of people. Based on the university-based audience you have chosen and their predisposition to your topic, how can you persuade them that they should care about your argument here and now? How can you persuasively address their existing viewpoints and convince them to listen to your argument? In a few sentences, describe to your chosen audience why they should care about your argument.

Thesis/Central Claim: A thesis is a one-sentence statement of the main claim of your essay, and the rest of your essay should work toward proving your thesis or persuading the audience that your thesis is correct. Your thesis statement should contain a specific and debatable claim about your topic. This means that your thesis statement should take a stance on the issue you present in your essay and signal the reasons or evidence you will use to persuade your audience. In one sentence, write a thesis statement for your topic that meets these criteria.

Genre: What writing style is expected in this task? What are the moves that are valuable in this genre and that will help you achieve your purpose? How do you expect your audience to use, read, or navigate this text?

Context: How long do you have to write about it? How should you structure your time to support your writing process? What are the submission expectations for this writing task?
