Identify multiple conventions used, examine why they were chosen, and analyze the effects they have upon the author’s target audience.

5 PAGES FOR PAPER, 1 PAGE FOR PEER REVIEW
PEER REVIEW FOR AFTER PAPER:
You complete the following 1 page (double-spaced) Self-Review: Write a one-page reflection on your review of your own Module 3 rough draft. For this 1-page Self-Review, look at your body paragraphs; do your paragraphs reflect clarification of the different topics of ethos that you are analyzing (context, tone, research/evidence, structure, values, language, etc.)? Your outline of the paper should be reflected in the body paragraphs. Next, are your body paragraphs made-up of a careful selection of quotes from your scholarly article that help evidence your claim (the authors’ tone builds trust with the audience; the authors’ evidence shows scholarly insight and intelligence that builds authority and trust, etc.)? Do you explain the quotes? How is the integration of quotes? Does this read clearly as the reader works to understand your arguments? Look at the Sentence-level Worksheet (Sentence_Level Worksheet -1.pdf
Actions
) to review the correct and effective ways to connect your sentences/ideas. Lastly, review the Outlines on Canvas and the Samples to see how other students built their Module 3 analyses. Again, for this third option of the Peer Review Exercise, simply write a 1-page double-spaced review of your Module 3 rough draft in light of all the questions and references above (feel free to go over 1-page).

PROMPT FOR PAPER:
Commence your work by locating a text published in a peer reviewed or professional periodical associated with your major, discipline, or specialization (this can be a broad reach, connection or association with your major (PSYCHOLOGY) — the more the article relates to and interests you the better). The text you select will need to have been published in a credible periodical within the past 3-4 years (so, nothing before 2017, please). And, the text should be a minimum of ten pages in length (not including Works Cited/References, Bibliography). Please make sure your text meets these requirements. A five-page “scholarly” article published in 2005 will not work, for instance.
Using this single text published in a professional and/or scholarly periodical associated with your discipline or major, you are tasked with analyzing its author’s use of “conventions of academic writing” and strategies for developing ethos. Identify multiple conventions used, examine why they were chosen, and analyze the effects they have upon the author’s target audience. If you have some insight on a particular failure of the author to establish her/his/their credibility as speakers on the issue/topic addressed in the selected text, you can explain that, as well. I do not suspect that this kind of criticism of the authors’ ethos will come into play, i.e., you don not have to find fault with your selected author(s).
Please include an appropriate introductory section, one that introduces your text and what you plan to accomplish in the analysis. Furthermore, make sure you have devised an analysis of the authors’ ethos that meets the demands of our expanded definition of ethos, looking at the variety of methods that academics use in their chosen discourse to advance a compelling argument.
Your paper should be 4-5 MLA formatted pages.
A Works Cited page is not included in this total but is required.
