Sample Introduction:
After exploring genres common to the field of psychology through a
preliminary genre analysis, I continued analyzing the language and
genres of my field by tracing an argument relevant to
psychologists. I gathered articles relating to the connection
between toddles language training and adolescent learning. I found
academic articles relating to this topic, and traced the arguments
and patterns common to these articles. Through my research, I
have found sources claiming that toddler language training is
crucial to adolescent proficiency (Smith; Jones; Meri) and others
who claim that toddler language training can have a limited impact
on adult learners (Wayne; Emig; Rice). These sources have helped
me to identify the various aspects of this issue in relation to the
field of psychology. In addition, these articles have helped me
continue exploring the genre conventions that I will need to learn
as I enter a new community through my major.

Don’t forget Snooki!
Snooki asserts that becoming a Snooki requires a tan, pink
lipstick, a poof, and animal prints. Snooki supports this
assertion by transforming a young girl into a Snooki by doing her
makeup and hair, and giving her an animal print scarf. Her
purpose was to show that becoming a Snooki requires a hair
and makeup transformation in order to have the perfect Snooki
look. Her intended audience is young girls who look up to
Snooki, and she targets this audience by using a young girl in
her example.
