Writing and Community Analysis Final Draft (USF Writes)
Submit your final draft of Project Two to “P2 Writing and Community Analysis Final Draft” in USF Writes (Links to an external site.)by the deadline. This draft should incorporate all the feedback you’ve received and should demonstrate significant development beyond the rough draft.
In addition to the requirements outlined in the Project Two Overview, the following prompts will help you think about how to further develop your P2 Writing and Community Analysis Final Draft.
Use supporting evidence to strengthen your analysis. When you analyze your community, include evidence in the form of the writing used in that community to support whatever points you are making about the community. For every claim you make in the main points of your analysis essay, you must support them with details and evidence. That means explaining (using detail from the community’s writing or presence) and interpreting for your audience. You will need to illustrate (example, evidence) and explain (use details to explain to readers) each point you make. For every point in your analysis essay, you want to aim for two or three pieces of evidence or examples to support it.
Further develop your ideas in the final draft.Expand on ideas from early drafts to layer in additional insights and analysis (using evidence as suggested above). Your revision process should take into account all the review experiences and all the thinking you’ve done about your community. Isolate each point, consider adding new paragraphs or revising sections to better explain, think about what more you can say to clarify or advance what you have so far. Even if you didn’t get a lot of feedback in review, consider these things for yourself, as the writer responsible for having fully developed ideas.
Connect your ideas and knowledge from P1 to what you learned in P2. What similarities and differences do you see when analyzing the writing of a community compared to the writing from sources in P1? How does your community and its individual members use writing in different ways – specifically how do you see evidence of a writer’s consideration of genre, audience, purpose, context, and rhetorical situation in the communication in that community, or do you see that perhaps a genre is inappropriate for the writing occasion, or the purpose is not clearly linked to audience perhaps. Analyze what you see and understand, based on your knowledge from P1 and how it carries forward into P2.
