public argument

A. Write another form of a public argument, written for a different rhetorical situation than you wrote to for your previous public argument. This should have the same overall argument; it is not an opportunity to write on a different topic, but to explore a different genre and a different rhetorical situation. Then, write a rhetorical analysis comparing the strategies you used in the two public arguments. Be sure to include the reasoning behind as well as some evaluation of each.
B. Write a reflection on which public argument you thought was the most persuasive. Did any of them make you want to take action? What about it do you think was so persuasive? What strategies were particularly effective? If you choose this prompt, you should focus on only one other argument, though you may compare it to your own, especially if you think you could have incorporated something from their argument into your own.
C. Write a thoughtful reflection on thisclass or your freshman writing sequence as a whole. How has your writing changed over the course of the semester(s)? What have you learned about yourself as a writer? What improvements do you still need to make? If you choose this option, you should pull from your own past writing in order to show evidence of these changes.
This should be written in standard English, 3-4 pages. You will be graded on evidence of thoughtful reflection, as well as organization, grammar, and mechanics.
