Analyze two artifacts from a text-based artifact.

Analyze two artifacts from their field of study: 1) a text-based artifact (e.g. a scholarly article, book chapter, or professional publication) and 2) a non-text-based artifact (e.g. an image, video, or podcast). However, rather than analyzing only the texts’ explicit statements, students will be considering how any feature of the artifacts may function in a rhetorical manner. In other words, students will be looking at how each artifact constructs meaning by framing a multifaceted response to a particular rhetorical situation. By comparing and contrasting these two artifacts, students are to describe how each satisfies its genre conventions and accomplishes particular rhetorical purposes.
