English Question

How you complete this paper:

1. Find two samples of professional or academic writing from your major or your field. A scholarly journal article would work, a syllabus from one of your classes, other course materials, or other kinds of writing (NOT WRITTEN BY YOU) that represent a more professional voice, more sophisticated (industry related) subject matter, etc. These should not be very difficult to find.
2. Provide the titles of these documents in a short introduction to this 2-page analysis.
3. You don’t need to post the samples.
4. The main assignment: please write a 2-page, double-spaced analysis of how these authors establish credibility as seen in the writing and use of language and syntax. This should be a focus on the sentence-level writing (syntax, active voice, etc.) as well as the use of language and other conventions authors use to establish their ethos or credibility.
5. Please refer to this week’s documents I discuss in the weekly lecture: “Teaching the Conventions of Academic Discourse” and the website from Lumen Learning. These two sources are found under our Writing Unit Readings.
6. This is a 2-page analysis incorporating BOTH samples and BOTH sources. You can provide a short introduction for the reader but then discuss the ethos via the writing strategies used in these documents.
7. Make ~4 specific references (note the reference, cite it in your writing) to the two sources (“Teaching the Conventions . . .” and Lumen Learning).
