Write a 200-300 (1 page) response to Crime Museum, “D.B. Cooper,” https://www.crimemuseum.org/crime-library/cold-cases/d-b-cooper/. Make sure to use proper formatting, grammar, and mechanics (full sentences, proper punctuation, etc.).
Start with a TWO sentence summary of the article to address the subject/topic of the article: What is the article about?
Spend the rest of your time discussing the writing context (make sure to read from IDEAS & Aims and The Little Seagull first!).
Who is the writer’s audience? Think about age, background, political affiliation, and any connections you might have to the audience.
How does the audience affect the writer’s tone? Give an example. (Hint: Look at the writer’s word choice)
What is the purpose of this article? (entertain, persuade, inform, etc.)
What is the genre of the article? (movie review, research paper, etc.)
What is the author’s perspective on the topic? Are they for/against the subject? Do they have mixed feelings? Do they want you to feel the same way?
If you have any questions on the readings, or are confused about the assignment, please let me know! You are most likely not the only one, so I can address those questions to the class as a whole.
