Summary of an article. Instructions and rubric will be attached. Effective writers know how to tailor their text for a specific purpose and a specific audience. For example, writers can choose to make an emotional appeal using simple language so that any audience can understand the message. Part of becoming a strong writer is analyzing how well or how poorly another author crafts a message, which will help one make stronger choices when it is time to communicate with others in a professional setting.
You will use the Task 1 Template located in the supporting documents section below the rubric to complete this task. First, you will choose a text from the provided list that you will analyze. Next, you will summarize the text and identify the text’s intended purpose and audience. Then, you will analyze the text’s context and the methods the author used to appeal to the audience.
