Analyze the genre, purpose, and audience of the text you’ve chosen. Where is this text published or made public? Who is the specific intended audience? What is the purpose of this text?
Rhetorically analyze the text you’ve chosen: What stylistic choices do they make? What content choices? What choices regarding images, layout, etc? How do such choices relate to their rhetorical purpose/s? How are they trying to affect change, attract participants, etc.?
How does the genre of this text change its rhetorical choices–for example, the audience, genre, purpose, or the way the text advocates? How is the text different from other sources you looked at?
How does the message in this text align or not align with the texts about this movement or organization, or with texts about the topic this organization is advocating for? How does this source use evidence? Is it reliable? Why or why not? What kind of information is given?
How does this source participate in a larger conversation with the other sources you looked at? How does the genre/medium affect the source’s argument?
