After reviewing the Genre Analysis Essay prompt, use this discussion to post the three “artifacts” or sources that you’ll be analyzing for your essay. These can be any type of writing in any modality. They can be the same genre or different genres as long as they are on the same topic. These compositions can be blogs, news articles, op-ed pieces, songs, posters, movies, etc. Your essay will identify the rhetorical situation of each source and analyze the similarities and differences between them. Use this post as an opportunity to identify what you’ll be analyzing in your essay.
Your post should include:
1) Links to your chosen sources (I suppose if it’s a Netflix show or movie you can provide a video of a trailer or Wiki page).
2) A summary of each source
3) The elements you plan on comparing and contrasting
4) A preliminary thesis statement for your genre analysis essay
