Public Document and Research Presentation Assignment

:-) You're going to fail if you don't contribute! :-)

For the next couple of weeks, we will be revising our research projects and conferencing about them. I've set aside a good amount of time for our one-to-one conferences where you'll be getting personalized feedback on your research papers.

While we're conferencing, we won't have class; however, you will have an assignment to work on.

Going Public: Creating a Public Document and Preparing you Research Presentation

In groups of three (below), you'll be either a. choosing one research project to further develop into a public document or b. integrating all three projects into one public document that you will present to the class. Each group member must contribute. Your group members will have a chance to "review" your participation. Don't be a bum!

Public documents can take a variety of formats and genres; it's up to you to decide what's the most rhetorically effective way to reach your intended audience. You may decide to do a Youtube video, create a blog, conduct a TED talk, create a research panel discussion, develop a ragecomic, create a brochure, a poster, a prezi, etc.

You will need the following to be successful:
1. A rhetorically effective public document
2. A presentation to go along with your public document that each group member participates in. You'll be presenting this in front of the class and possibly at compocon
3. A written reflection on the process (this part is individual; each group member is responsible to turn in their own). For the written reflection, describe your public document and how it connects to the research project, the purpose, the intended audience. You'll also explain how each group member contributed to the project.  This doesn't need to be long; roughly two pages.

Each "piece" is worth 5 points to your final grade, so we're talking big points here! Use the conferencing days to meet with your group members and begin planning for this. You're welcome to meet in our classroom during class time or any time that your group members deem convenient.

NOT IN A GROUP? Let me know asap.


Here are a few examples of a "public document"

Who's the intended audience? What's its purpose? Are these rhetorically effective? Thoughts to ponder...
