Style Portfolio Draft Workshop 2 has two parts.
By the end of the day on Tuesday, Nov. 14:- Select one of the two texts to shift that will be included in your Style Portfolio.
- Email the text to the two readers you were assigned in the instructor's email. (Assignments are not posted here for privacy reasons.)
Before class on Thursday, Nov. 16: - Examine the two separate texts sent to you by your classmates.
- For each text, briefly discuss (~three paragraphs) what you believe is its primary audience, context, and purpose. Make sure to identify how the document's use of style informs your conclusions.
- Then, for each text, briefly discuss (~one paragraph) a feasible alternative audience, context, or purpose that the author could shift the document to suit. (You do not have to discuss how to implement these changes; the goal is to give each author some potential directions for revision.)
- Forward your discussions to each text's author in separate emails (please CC the instructor).
By completing this activity you will practice stylistic analysis and get productive feedback that may shape the development of your Style Portfolio. |
