RIP Proposal
For my RIP project I plan to use the genre of advertisement in a magazine. It is going to be published on “Travel Leisure Magazine”, a travel-oriented publication that explores all aspects of travelling- such as hotels, restaurants, and things to do around the area. My RIP combines literary and documentary features, such as personal experiences and infomercial contents, in order to substantially explore the locale and its culture as well as unveil an exotic and exclusive destination. The conventions of my travel writing includes short summary and factual information about the place. The short summary will be presented in the beginning of the article in order to hook the readers and provide an insight as to what will be mentioned in the article. Factual information like statistical and informative data/content will allow the audience to access to destination facts and other search fields. For example, this convention will include facts about estimated costs, country guidelines, itineraries, etc. In contrast, my travel writing will contain personal experiences through the use of conversational and colloquial tone, vivid descriptive imagery, and first-person narrative. I will be using “I” and “you” to refer to my personal experiences and employ conversational and colloquial tone to build a rapport between the writer and the reader (puts “you” in their shoes). Moreover, vivid descriptive imagery will be frequently apparent- to create a lively atmosphere and paint idealistic pictures of the destination. To further intrigue the audience and promote/ advertise this destination, vivid descriptive imagery will help me implement the “showing” technique along with five sensory images, in which it allows me to be more descriptive and persuasive. My last convention is the visual. Real pictures are vital in travel articles because they intrigue the audience and help to relay positive emotions through happy and serene visual representations. I will represent myself as an experienced traveler in the Philippines; hence someone who also wants to have a fantasy wedding of my dream. By intertwining both literary and documentary features, I will be able to assure credibility and authority. By denoting my personal experiences and systematic research, it will be evident that I have traveled to the destination and preponderantly researched the subject I am writing about.
In the meantime, millennials have been ditching tradition as of late; they want to step out of their comfort zone and find unique ways to celebrate their wedding. That said, destination weddings can be a prime opportunity for the millennials to experiment with the unconventional, but some could be skeptical about the feasibility of such a unique option. My rhetorical purpose is pursued viewers to use my travel article to plan their destination wedding and travel smarter and easier in the Philippines. The main purpose of my travel article ...
Destination marketing has changed. Social media can influence people when choosing their destination, their hotel or their travelling method. On this presentation I am trying to explain how a brand can use influencers to affect the customer’s choice.

Part 1
Your fast-food franchise has been cleared for business in all 4 countries (United Arab Emirates, Israel, Mexico, and China). You now have to start construction on your restaurants. The financing is coming from the United Arab Emirates, the materials are coming from Mexico and China, the engineering and technology are coming from Israel , and the labor will be hired locally within these countries by your management team from the United States. You invite all of the players to the headquarters in the United States for a big meeting to explain the project and get to know one another. The people seem to be staying with their own groups and not mingling.
What is the cultural phenomenon at play here (what is it called/ term)?
How do you explain the lack of intercultural communication and interaction?
What do you know about these cultures—specifically their economic, political, educational, and social systems—that could help you in getting them together?
What are some of the contrasting cultural values of these countries?
You are concerned about some of the language barriers as you start the meeting, particularly the fact that the United States is a low-context country, and some of the countries present are high-context countries. Furthermore, you only speak English, and you do not have an interpreter present.
How will this affect the presentation?
What are some of the issues you should be concerned about regarding verbal and nonverbal language for this group?
What strategy would you use to begin to have everyone develop a relationship with each other that will help ease future negotiations, development, and implementation?

100 WORDS OR MORE
Consider your past experiences either as a student, early child care professional, or teacher. Describe a creative episode similar to the two boys who found a frog in the text (Creativity and the Arts with Young Children, p.309), when the teacher (maybe you) seized the opportunity (the teachable moment) to inspire the children to branch out using their imagination, creativity, and interests. Why do you think this was such a memorable moment?
WHAT WAS OBSERVED?
Two boys were exploring the outdoors and found a small frog. The teacher recognized their high interest and determined that this was an appropriate topic for a study. Their experience in nature provided the interest and stimulus for a long-term project on frogs. The teacher demonstrated her belief that this study could not only include informational learning but also be enriched by the use of the arts. She didn't know a lot about frogs, so she joined the children in looking for information about them. Stories provided the content for the drama about frogs, and the music selection encouraged listening and moving to the “frog music.” A group mural was created through the collaboration of several children, who created visual representations of the frog's environment. Another group of children investigated building a habitat for the frog in their classroom aquarium. All of the children were involved in active learning and used methods that matched their interests. At the conclusion of the study, the children shared their learning by making a giant book about frogs, creating a song about frogs, and demonstrating the development of the frog aquarium that emulated its outdoor environment. Finally, they returned the frog to its home, which led to their understanding that it needed to live in its natural habitat.

Article is attached
The overwhelming similarities between the articles are perception of identity through self-focus or self-identity through culture. Mulvaney tells us “truth is socially constructed through language and other symbol systems” (Mulvaney, 222). And as an example, it was just such self-focus that landed Galileo in jail by asserting that the universe was sun-centered as opposed to earth centered. The people of that time had socially constructed their own truths based on their perceptions of that time, although we now know that both were incorrect. It was from this perception of correctness that power was assumed and asserted by the majority, which in this case led to Galileo’s arrest (Mulvaney 2004).
Jandt touches on an interesting fact regarding existentialism, the idea of the “other” and the idea that both the observer and the observed are changed in the process. He states, “that the observer is not independent of the observed; the observed is in some sense “created” or changed or both by the act of observation” (Jandt, 212). It is from this dynamic that Jandt speaks of that we can see the formation of societal roles, i.e. the roles of those in positions of power and those in a subservient roles.
The interesting culmination of the information from all three articles is that the process is not a stagnant one, but rather one that can, and often times does change. Through introspective analysis, asking ourselves the question “Who am I?” we can embrace our cultural differences and through the acceptance of our individual qualities can take back some of the power that was perhaps lost (Jandt, 210). For example, take the labels “Feminist” and “Gay” along with “queer” and “Chicano,” which were certainly negative when created, have been transformed into positive labels embraced by those within each perspective community (Jandt 2004).

100 word response to the followingBoth perspectives that we rea.docxvrickens
100 word response to the following:
Both perspectives that we read referenced Hofstede’s work. Merrit and Helmreich focused closely on Hofstede’s principles of individualism and power distance. They studied how American flight crews differed in these areas from Asian flight crews. The American flight crews proved to have much more individualism than the Asian, although power distance perceptions were mixed between pilots and flight attendants, with the flight attendants perceiving more power distance than the pilots (in Jandt, 2004). Aldridge also focused on individualism and power distance, with regards to the American culture. It is Aldridge’s thesis that it is the idea of the “natural rights of man” that underpins American culture (in Jandt, 2004, p.94). The natural rights of man are a value that is espoused by a culture with high individuality and low power distance. If man has natural rights, then he is an independent being, and in order to value all men, we must have a lower perception of the distance between those of high status and those with lower status.
I enjoyed both perspectives. I felt that the aviation study was very strong, as they were careful to make sure that they accounted for cultural differences in their measurements. I agree with the authors that although they confirmed some sociological theories and demonstrated that flight crews tend to follow their cultural norms, the study is likely skewed. In order to understand how different flight crews behave from standard Asian social norms, the surveys would have to be done from an Asian perspective and even then, there is not just one Asian culture, so that should be taken into account. We likely miss many of the subtle differences between Asian flight crews and their home culture, by not having a sensitive test to that culture.
My main complaint about Aldridge’s perspective is a lack of strong comparison to other cultures. I felt that the argument that American culture is strong based on our belief in natural human rights would have been better served by showing more comparison to other cultures that also espouse this value and/or to cultures that clearly do not. The comparison to Nazi culture was a start, but one that gets kind of old after a while, and is not a culture that is as current as I would prefer in a comparison.

100 word response to the following:
The point that Penetito is trying to make is that it is important for indigenous cultures to survive. He uses the case of the education of the Maori in New Zealand as an example to exhibit the declining influence of the culture because of the influence of the more dominant British culture. Penetito strengthens his argument by referencing problems that come with colonization and the negative on natives, most notably, the educational system. By attacking this one issue and using facts about the culture to enrich the discussion helps to focus his message that cultures being dominated is a bad thing. The Maori educational system has been moulded to fit the mainstream framework rather than a Maori one (Jandt, 2004, p. 173) and this creates many of the problems and contributes to the extinction of culture. He could use other examples of how colonizing countries leads to the destruction of less important areas of indigiounous cultures such as dress, language, or food in order to strengthen his arguments about the educational systems. The lack of attention in the educational field is having lasting effects on Maoris living in New Zealand and any more information he could use to support this would be important to know. Also examples of educational systems in other colonized countries, to compare and contrast them to New Zealand's would also help to influence readers. He references a report done by the Ministry of Maori Development which states that, "disparities between Maori and non-Maori in a variety of economic sectors such as employment and income" (Jandt, 2004, p. 181). The Maori are just an example of one culture that is fighting for survival out of many. The problem is that through colonization, diversity dwindles. Penetito's writing is valid for all endangered languages because all cultures can use it as a template and useful knowledge for preserving their cultures before they are completely gone.

I would like to ask a provocative question, or two.
Given that all of the indigenous languages in the USA are on the brink of extinction, should there be federal funding to protect these languages and these cultures?
Along the same lines, what do you think of English-only initiatives? Do these aid or hurt American culture?

Culture has many different meanings anywhere from historical perspectives to behavioral perspectives to different traditions that have been passed down from generations to generations.
Levi Strauss was interested in structuralism which he defined as “the search for unusual harmonies” (pg 1 Jandt). “There are many more human cultures than human races”, human cultures are counted by the thousands and human races are divided up by units.
The collaboration between cultures is trying to compare the old world with the new world. “No society is intrinsically cumulative. Cumulative history is the way of life of cultures and how they get a long together. All cultural contributions are divided into two groups; isolated acquisitions or features, the features are important but at the same time they are limited. The second group is systemized contributions which is how each society has chosen to express human aspirations. According to Strauss the true contribution of a culture is its difference from others.
Geert Hostede looks at business cultures and states that culture may be divided into four categories symbols, heroes, rituals and values. “Understanding people means understanding their background from which their present and future behavior can be predicted”. There are also four national cultural differences: 1.power distance-the population from equal to extremely unequal 2. Individualism -people have learned to act as individuals rather than in a group 3.masculinity- assertiveness or masculine values prevail over the feminine ones 4.uncertainty avoidance- people in a country prefer structured over unstructured situations.

Our culture is something that has been ingrained in us from an early age, and is largely unconscious. Levi-Strauss says that while certain biological traits were selected for us in the beginning of evolution, as soon as culture came into being, those biological traits were influenced by the dynamics of culture (Jandt, p. 6). Essentially, we are not able to separate ourselves from culture, and to do so would be to ruin what is wonderful and unique about each culture. According to Hofstede, all cultures have their processes, and their values. While things like symbols and rituals in a culture vary greatly, he says; “Values represent the deepest level of culture. (Jandt, p. 9)”
Because culture is deeply ingrained in us, all of the variants that Levi-Strauss and Hofstede discussed must be taken in account when dealing wit.

Between the Baroque and Rococo era, according to Getlein in Living with Art 2010, Rococo is a development and extension of the baroque style. Rococo is not only a play on the word baroque, but also French for rocks and shells. Rococo is known for its ornate style and several points of contrast. Baroque on the other hand was an art of cathedrals and palaces (Getlein p. 397). The Mirror Room of the Amailienburg in Nymphenburg is a great example of the Rococo style of art with its gentle pastels, overall intimacy, multiple mirrors and its illusion of the sky and with that baroque is large in scale and rococo is lighter. According to Getlein p. 398, Rococo architecture first originated in France but was soon exported, some examples of this type of art are found in Germany. Hall of mirrors on page 392 by Charles Le Brun is an example of baroque art, it is a more intense piece of work that is more vibrant and energetic vice the lighter decoration s used in The Mirror Room.

The Renaissance covered the period from 1400 to 1600, which brought numerous changes that included new techniques in art, the way art was viewed, and how people viewed themselves. The term renaissance means "rebirth" and it refers to the renewal of interest in Roman and Greek cultures. During the period scholars who called themselves humanists believed in the pursuit of knowledge and striving to reach their full creative and intellectual potential. This new way of thinking had many impacts for art during this period. Artists became interested in observing the natural world and studied new techniques on how to accurately depict it. Various techniques were developed such as the effect of light known as chiaroscuro; noting that distant objects appeared smaller than nearer ones they developed linear perspective; seeing how detail and colored blurred with distance, they developed atmospheric perspective. (Getlein page 361) The nude also reappeared in art, for the body was one of God's most noble creations; an example of this can be seen in figure 16.8 the statue of David, by the artist Michelangelo. (Getlein page 368) The primary difference between the Renaissance and the prior period of time was that artists were no longer viewed craftsmen, they were now recognized as intellectuals. (Getlein page 362)
The Northern Renaissance developed more gradually than in Italy. Northern artists did not live among the ruins of Rome nor did they share the Italians’ sense of a personal link to the creators of the Classical past; thus affecting the focus and characteristics between the two cultures. (Getlein page 374) Renaissance artists in northern Europe focused more on small details of the visible world, such as decoration or the outer appearanc.

Unlike the Egyptian culture that created statues of themselves as gods and pharaohs. Muslims did not worship false idols or statues so no pictures or statues or gods are present in their mosques. According to Geitlein (2010), “The Qur’an contains a stern warning against the worship of idols, and in time this led to a doctrine forbidding images of animate beings in religious contexts” (p. 410). Instead the Muslims of the Islam culture used geometry and plants to design buildings, like the Egyptian pyramids, Muslims built beautiful mosques with grand designs. Islam became a world religion, like Christians, they needed a place of worship and prayer. They also used fine textiles, sun dried brick, and ceramics to create their designs. An example would be the popular Cordoba mosque of Spain. A lot of mosques use the arch and dome technique like that of the Romans and Byzantine architecture. Arabic script also became popular and appeared inside the mosque temples. Islam used calligraphy as art and to illustrate writing. Egyptians were also big on scripting but theirs was called hieroglyphics, which not only had letters, but pictures were a big part of their writing system as well. The Egyptians didn’t technically worship false idols at all times, at some times they had statues created of themselves but there wasn’t really a religion in Egypt until the one god religion began there. Egypt gave you a visual of the life and world of Egypt, Islam leaves it more up to the imagination with no pictures of what any of the past history looked like.

Realism was a mid to late 19th century movement in which artist should represent the world at it is regardless of artistic and social understandings. Realist were seeking to free art from social regulation and depicting how society shapes the lives of people (Little, page 80).
In his Fur Traders Descending the Missouri, American-born George Caleb Bingham a self taught artist and the first major painter to live and work west of the Mississippi River illustrates the realism of life for a French trapper and his son on the Missouri River hunting from a dugout canoe. The painting is simple to understand, it represents the calmness of a time to me when life was simple.
Abstract Expressionism was a movement that got its start following World War TWO. Developed in New York and often referred to as the New York School or Action Painting it is characterized to depict universal emotions. Additionally this was the first American movement to gain international recognition (Little, page 122).

The prosecutor is getting feedback from local law enforcement officers explaining that they are discouraged from making arrests in cases of domestic violence and child abuse. They claim that they have been either not making arrests in domestic violence situations or arresting both parties when they go out on a call. It seems that abused women often go back to the abusers, and children who get removed from the homes where they have been abused often return after removal. These occurrences have been especially demoralizing to law enforcement.
One of your jobs in working as a victim witness assistant is to help educate law enforcement on the nature and behaviors involved in domestic violence and child abuse. The prosecutor’s office has decided that you should present each of these topics for the next training session:
Topic 1: Domestic violence:
Your goal is to educate law enforcement to use best practices in the investigation of domestic abuse cases. Include the following topics:
How to approach a domestic violence situation when responding to an emergency call
when the parties should be separated
how to interview parties
what information needs to be in the report and why
how best to help a victim
what laws protect victims, including the use of protection orders
why victims return to abusers
length of time it may take to stay away from their abusers
Arrests
the legal standard needed to make an arrest in a domestic violence case
What evidence should be collected at the arrest?
Are dual arrests effective law enforcement?
how to assist domestic violence victims
reluctant victims
help for victims
Topic 2: Child Abuse:
Your goal will be to educate law enforcement about the dynamics of abuse and neglect cases. Include the following topics:
signs of child abuse and categories (physical, sexual, emotional)
difference between abuse and neglect
legal description of neglect
use of guardian
ad litems
the legal standards that must be met in removal from the home
termination of parental rights
requirements of Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)
role of court-appointed special advocates (CASA) in child abuse and neglect cases
role of social services in abuse and neglect cases

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

RIP Proposal
For my RIP project I plan to use the genre of advertisement in a
magazine. It is going to be published on “Travel Leisure
Magazine”, a travel-oriented publication that explores all
aspects of travelling- such as hotels, restaurants, and things to
do around the area. My RIP combines literary and documentary
features, such as personal experiences and infomercial contents,
in order to substantially explore the locale and its culture as
well as unveil an exotic and exclusive destination. The
conventions of my travel writing includes short summary and
factual information about the place. The short summary will be
presented in the beginning of the article in order to hook the
readers and provide an insight as to what will be mentioned in
the article. Factual information like statistical and informative
data/content will allow the audience to access to destination
facts and other search fields. For example, this convention will
include facts about estimated costs, country guidelines,
itineraries, etc. In contrast, my travel writing will contain
personal experiences through the use of conversational and
colloquial tone, vivid descriptive imagery, and first-person
narrative. I will be using “I” and “you” to refer to my personal
experiences and employ conversational and colloquial tone to
build a rapport between the writer and the reader (puts “you” in
their shoes). Moreover, vivid descriptive imagery will be
frequently apparent- to create a lively atmosphere and paint
idealistic pictures of the destination. To further intrigue the
audience and promote/ advertise this destination, vivid
descriptive imagery will help me implement the “showing”
technique along with five sensory images, in which it allows me
2. to be more descriptive and persuasive. My last convention is the
visual. Real pictures are vital in travel articles because they
intrigue the audience and help to relay positive emotions
through happy and serene visual representations. I will
represent myself as an experienced traveler in the Philippines;
hence someone who also wants to have a fantasy wedding of my
dream. By intertwining both literary and documentary features,
I will be able to assure credibility and authority. By denoting
my personal experiences and systematic research, it will be
evident that I have traveled to the destination and
preponderantly researched the subject I am writing about.
In the meantime, millennials have been ditching tradition as of
late; they want to step out of their comfort zone and find unique
ways to celebrate their wedding. That said, destination
weddings can be a prime opportunity for the millennials to
experiment with the unconventional, but some could be
skeptical about the feasibility of such a unique option. My
rhetorical purpose is pursued viewers to use my travel article to
plan their destination wedding and travel smarter and easier in
the Philippines. The main purpose of my travel article is to
convince the readers to be more explorative and steer away from
conformity and traditions. Not only that, I want to promote and
advertise the location itself for its amusing temporal and
cultural features. My message and purpose is important because
it allows the readers to create their fantasy wedding and it
informs number of variables that are opened by eliminating
conformity.
Having a wedding celebration abroad is undoubtedly costly. On
the other hand, Travel-Leisure Magazine is also known to target
people who are affluent and sophisticated and those who have
travelled in the past. That said, my intended audience are
engaged couples who are looking for a romantic-getaway
wedding and want to explore various cultural and adventurous
experiences. Since they are most likely to be experienced and
educated travellers, my article provides expert intelligence and
practical advice to help people travel smarter and easier. Given
3. that destination wedding is a luxurious and exclusive way to
travel, the pursued audience may want detailed information
about family-oriented, romantic destinations that provide
opportunities to truly interact with their guests over a longer
event. Therefore, this article will focus on different pleasure-
oriented activities and leisure locations as well as the pros of
choosing Philippines as the destination.
I chose this audience because I do not want to limit myself from
exploring different leisure activities just because of the
expensive cost. I noticed that some other travel articles are
devoted to showing different budget options to attract a wider
range of audience. Even though my article has a narrow range of
readers, I want to focus on providing meticulous infomercial
guide to the outside world and the best of everything the
Philippines has to offer. That said, I can engage creativity and
freelance more since it hasn’t been done before. It also
enhances peoples’ desire for something fresh and the ability to
save money for this ideal and unique trip. Nevertheless, it also
influences other readers whether they are traveling for a
destination wedding or just visiting Philippines for tourism. One
difficulty I may anticipate in reaching my intended audience
would be that it requires a rigorous research to gain a better
understanding of sophisticated and affluent tourists and find out
what drives their decision making/ choice. As mentioned
previously, my range of intended audience are restricted and
there are several angles to look at in order to understand their
personal interests. On the other hand, I assume that my
unintended audience could be discouraged by the limited
availability and may condemn the pampering features and
unrealistic costs.
Destination Weddings have increased 400% in recent years, and
millenials are also being more strategic when it comes to love,
changing the norms in wedding celebration as well. In addition,
some couples aren’t getting married at all- and the marriage rate
is declining, or they marry at a later age. For example, US
Census Bureau claims that the median age of first marriage in
4. the US is 27 for women and 29 for men. From this continued
relatability, I can see that the millenials are evolving marriage.
This has a huge influence and frames my article immensely; I
must draw both generalized and specific insights and
recommendations to spark intrigue in the audience, thus imply
that extravagant weddings are worth investing.

5. Project: You will craft a text having selected a purpose and
audience that addresses the class theme (or responds to one of
the class texts). You will then select an appropriate genre for
this project, and demonstrate your rhetorical know-how by
selecting appropriate rhetorical choices for this situation. In
other words, your created text will operate within a clear
rhetorical framework—with a clear context, belonging to an
identifiable genre, and with a clear purpose and audience—that
addresses the class theme (or responds to one of the class texts).
The only limitation on genre is that it is text-based and it cannot
be a short story. Discuss with your instructor if he or she has
other limitations.
· Message and Purpose: First, what’s your message going to be?
What do you want to portray about either your class text or
class theme? Think about this specifically and complexly—
What are the new insights you can bring to the table? What are
arguments that you can make?
· Audience: Once you decide your message, whom do you want
to target? Why? And what are going to be the expectations of
this audience? What might be difficult in addressing them?
Think specifically about who they are and what their
expectations will be. How will that affect your appeals to them?
· Context: What’s the historical and cultural context of this
project? Is this taking place right now? Where and when? How
does that influence the project? See the AGWR 39B chapter for
more details about exploring context.
· Genre: After you think through all of these possibilities, now
you can start to decide on a genre for your project. The RIP
project should involve a text-based genre, but is only limited by
your imagination. Part of this project’s goal is for you to
explore a genre that you’re not familiar with, so you should
pick something that can challenge you in terms of making a
complex argument in a different format. There can be multi-
modal components to the project, but there should be a
significant amount of text should be the primary component.
Research various genres online for what might be most
6. compelling to you—for instance, perhaps you’re interested in a
short video, but instead can write a film treatment or pitch
