Design Plan Partial Draft
The advocacy topic of this paper is, what can be done better to protect student-athletes dealing with name, image, and likeness? It is important to talk about this because it protects student athletes from signing bad contracts and potentially owing money. The purpose and goal of my advocacy project webpage is to inform college student athletes that they need to be extremely careful about their money and how they are receiving names, images, and likenesses. With this genre of webpage, the goal is to accomplish safe awareness of the student athletes receiving money through names, images, and their likenesses. Finacial awareness is the action to move the target audience to. One solution can be 1 or 2 videos pertaining to financial awareness. Another solution can be tabs that share information of prior events of people being caught in unfortunate contract situations.
I. Context of your Advocacy Topic
1. What are the historical and current dimensions around your advocacy topic? What is happening?
2. Based on the research you conducted for your Research Proposal, what types of people are involved in this conversation already? (Look at the authors of your sources or populations that your sources discuss.)
3. Explain how any other information you've learned while researching your advocacy topic has shaped your understanding of the context. (For instance, has this issue been going on for longer or less time than you previously thought?)
II. Audience
1. Explain your target audiences (which must be a primary AND secondary audience).
2. Why are your primary and secondary audience's integral to your project? In other words, why are they the best groups of people to target to achieve your goals?
3. What do you know about this audience after conducting research for your RP?
4. What knowledge are you hoping for your audiences to gain after visiting your webpage?
III. Strategies/Arrangement
This will be the heart of the paper. The medium of the webpage (or any medium used to communicate) will directly shape your message. Detail at least five rhetorical strategies, appeals, OR choices that you are going to use on your webpage to persuade your target audiences to take action. Just as you rhetorically analyzed a rhetor in Project, you are now in a rhetorical situation and must employ these types of strategies. Answer the following questions in a paragraph for each (5 paragraphs required total):
1. Why did you select this strategy, appeal, or choice? Why is it rhetorically effective considering your audience and the goal of your advocacy webpage?
2. How will you achieve the strategy, appeal, or choice? Will you use text, images, or videos, evidence, or other examples? Directly cite the images or photos you may use. What research or information from your RP will you use to help you?
3. How does the strategy directly link back to your goal of the webpage and your proposed solution(s)?
IV. Conclusion: Describe the arrangement of your webpage.
1. How many pages will you have? What will those pages be? What information will be included under each one?
2. What color scheme will you use? Why?
3. Name any other details you are planning to use while designing your webpage.
