About the Assignment
For this assignment, you’ll have an opportunity to
select from a limited set of genres to construct your own well-researched
argument, drawing content from an issue you have identified early in the
semester, and giving it a unique design. You’ll likely be putting into practice
concepts by Jones, Kaufer, and Killingsworth, who ask us to consider
not only ways of rendering “the good argument” on emotionally charged topics,
but also what it means to appeal to time, arguing with empathy rather than
force. You’ll also be asked to reflect on the genre and design choices you
make, especially in light of the genres we read.
