Reading-Response-and-Genre-Analysis

please read the Scott McCloud comic, “Understanding Genres,” and listen to the Mere Rhetoric podcast, “Genre Theory,” https://secure-hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/4/2/0/420f77640b… and respond to the following prompt:

In our textbook, Technical Communication Today, the author defines genres as: “patterns that reflect how communities, including people in technical workplaces, get things done.” Perhaps more specifically, though, he adds: “A genre shapes a [writing] project’s content, organization, style, and design, as well as the medium in which it is delivered” (2).

Given what we’ve learned about genres thus far, what do you know about the ways people in your profession* communicate? What genres are important to getting things done? What can you begin to do now, while in college, to help prepare yourself to better communicate in the genres important in your career? Pull in pieces from the readings and podcast to help support your response. (300 words)

The next step toward completing the Rhetorical/Genre Analysis Memo assignment is to collect examples (artifacts) of the genre for which you’ve selected.

First, collect 3-5 artifacts (representative samples) of the genre you’ve selected.

Next, use the Analyzing Genres document (below) to investigate and interpret patterns across artifacts.

The deliverable for this assignment is to submit your answers to the questions listed on the Analyzing Genres document. The purpose is to better understand the patterns of the genre on which you’ve selected to focus for project one, noticing patterns of context, audience, purpose, layout, and style. Include examples from the artifacts you’ve collected to help support your answers. This analysis will serve as the data for developing your Rhetorical/Genre Analysis Memo.

Note: When considering the language most commonly used, this does not refer to English, Chinese, Spanish, etc. Instead, look for keywords, key phrases, and/or patterns of speech commonly used across your artifacts. (300words)
