There is such a variety of public genres, that we can never hope to cover them all or practice composing in even a fraction of them. But choosing one public genre and drafting an example can give you important insights for using the rhetorical situation to determine how to best create that genre to reach your target audience.Think of an animal behavior you are curious about. Search YouTube videos or interview a faculty member on campus with expertise on that animal. Draft a short article for an online newspaper that is appropriate for conveying what you have discovered to a general audience. Try to give it the appearance of an actual news article with a catchy headline, a visual image, and hyperlinks to sources


Upload your composition to this assignment as an attachment. (Hint: PowerPoint works great for creating ads and photo essays; you can simply take a picture of your hand-sketched graphic memoir if you choose that option. Insert text boxes into a Word document to create headlines, block out sections of text, or insert visual images for a news article.)
