What versions and definitions of events, people, etc., are put into action?

Comparative news analysis of a select topic/event/person coverage from equivalent mainstream media sites (e.g., newspaper & its website) that orient to different audiences or interpretative communities. Analyze, compare and contrast, e.g., frames, narratives, details, descriptions in relation to framing, rhetorical and discursive action for meaning-making, discourses, etc. What versions and definitions of events, people, etc., are put into action? In what ways are these similar or different? What are the implications, etc?
The group will need to work together to select a news topic, select comparative/equivalent sources, undertake a cohesive comparative analysis and produce a report. The report submitted also need to be cohesive and consistent in style, terminology, etc., rather than looking like a report where entirely different elements were simply “tacked” together. So some or all member(s) need to take responsibility for this final edited version too.
select a news story/event covered as news (not editorial) that connects to race or gender or its intersection (to comparatively analyze for the ways it is represented as news).
Select at least two contrasting mainstream news media sites/sources – according to the media bias chart – that are equivalent in context (for example, compare digital newspapers).
Find the news items/texts published over a relevant period of time for the issue/event/topic. The time period needs to be justified in the final report – so there should be a rationale. For example, if you decided that kneeling for the national anthem during a football game is the topic, consider at what point and for what period you want to explore the response – and why, considering why this makes sense.
Once you have your texts from the designated time period and sources, analyze each of them for language choices, details, narratives, discourses, rhetorical and discursive action, etc., to consider what accounts, information, and explanations (blame and motivations) about events, people, etc., are being put into action and what version of events/people are being put into action and reported. Consider the audience/interpretive community for the text and how this connects to the analysis and interpretation.
Compile and summarize these for each source.
Compare and contrast across the different sources.
Report your findings in detail, structure is flexible but should include:
Descriptive title
Author names
Introduction and rationale (what are the issues, why would we be interested in doing this kind of work, and why this is a relevant topic/story for analysis)
Sources and time period explored – including rationale for these choices (e.g. media sources)
Findings/analysis (subtitles are welcome to organize, and try to include data to support/show analysis)
Conclusion/concluding remarks

Write a paper based on pages 113-127 in your textbook, “Miracle at Philadelphia” and the video production “The Constitution: A Dialogue with James Madison and George Mason.”

Write a paper based on pages 113-127 in your textbook, “Miracle at Philadelphia” and the video production “The Constitution: A Dialogue with James Madison and George Mason.” The paper will focus on why the new nation was failing under its first government, the Articles of Confederation. It should then look at some of the major compromises made at the Constitutional Convention over slavery, and the positions of the large population states versus the smaller ones on representation in the new Congress. What were the backgrounds of the men who wrote the Constitution and briefly describe the roles of Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, James Madison, and George Mason? Finally, why was the amendment process so important and vital to the Constitution lasting over 200 years? Does this explain why the Constitution has lasted even though the original document did not include rights for African Americans, women, and the poor?

Write a thesis-driven analysis of a text (of your own choosing or selected from the provided topics) that addresses the rhetorical effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) of that text.

Rhetorical Analysis Assignment
Due to Blackboard: Feb. 7 by 11:59 P.M.
Submission Format: Attached document (.docx or PDF)
PURPOSE:
The goal of a rhetorical analysis is to articulate HOW the author writes, rather than WHAT they actually wrote. To do this, you will analyze the strategies the author uses to achieve his or her goal or purpose of writing their piece. Reflect on the strategies we discussed in class as you make your analysis. We know that angle of vision, style and voice, along with the rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos) all play a role in how messages persuade, so you may choose to view your rhetoric through those lenses.
Remember: The purpose of the rhetorical analysis is not to support or critique an argument presented in a text, but to discuss how the argument is made and whether the approach used to make it is effective. The discussion is made by looking into the goals an author is trying to present in the text, the tools he or she uses to present the goals, and Write a thesis-driven analysis of a text (of your own choosing or selected from the provided topics) that addresses the rhetorical effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) of that text. This means you will have to carefully read and briefly summarize the text you choose, and then craft a thesis statement that argues whether or not the selected piece is rhetorically effective (convincing based on the intended audience). Take into consideration the writer’s angle of vision, style and voice, along with the rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos) used, and any additional rhetorical strategies that the writer employs to attempt to persuade the reader. Your analysis should include a concise summary of the original text (no more than 200 words) and an analysis that supports your thesis using plentiful examples from the text. Your final essay should be between 3 – 5 pages in length and follow appropriate MLA formatting guidelines.
AUDIENCE:
You are writing for a general college reader who may not have read the text you’re analyzing (which is why a good summary is so important!) You also need to assess the audience of the original essay. Who was the writer trying to reach with this text and how do you know? This is extremely important because rhetorical effectiveness is heavily dependent on the intended audience.

What significant similarities did you notice between these two Washington Irving stories, based on their themes, characters, and plots?

What significant similarities did you notice between these two Washington Irving stories, based on their themes, characters, and plots? Why are these similarities important?
For instance, how and why did each story focus on the perpetuation of myth as a way to address cultural, political, and economic changes in the 1820’s? In what ways do Rip Van Winkle and Ichabod Crane each represent stereotypes (character types) of their own historical periods – and why is this important to the stories’ theme and significance?
