Persuasive Text Analysis Paper
Students will write a 5-6 page paper in APA style that will analyze a persuasive text (for example: speech, Public Service Announcement script, patriotic song lyrics, etc.). The paper will focus primarily on ways in which the arguments present in the text shape public discourse and influence civic life. The Persuasive Text Analysis Paper is not a research paper; the majority of this assignment consists of your analysis with the use of credible sources in APA style to support your viewpoint. Make sure to utilize your textbook and notes as well as reliable external sources to incorporate and apply relevant concepts discussed in the course to support your analysis; however, please ensure that this paper consists primarily of your viewpoint. Please include in-text citations in APA style as well as a Bibliography in APA style.
