3 Possible Sources:

     This source is an academic writing in the field of public health, as it is new research. It has the credibility of the CDC. The (numerous) professionals who authored keep the diction intelligent and relating to an educated audience. It is still, however, still understandable to me, a fairly new student to Public Health. The information is clearly organized by headings, therefore you can find the information and purpose you are looking for quite easily. Those facts are surface analysis but it will help me dig deeper into the next.

     The second link is a peer reviewed journal from our library. Being peer reviewed, multiple professionals have studied this writing over and given approval. It is rather on the non-academic side. This article shows how people writing for promotion of public health may have to write in an argument style to promote their purpose.

     I particularly like this source so far. It does write about the past, but it was written in 2016, making its relevancy appropriate. The author, who is female this time, is talking of the history of public health, and the effects it has today. She is reporting on many aspects of her field of study, but like many public health professionals, there is an argument for the need of public health, so I can study the language of these professionals in the persuasive style still.

Analytical Report Rewritten & Questions

This assignment is similar to a research paper I completed in a previous English class. It was an investigation of a specific topic of your own interest rather than an aspect pertaining to an entire field. This class's report is an analysis of the value and use of rhetoric in your future career field. For the analytical report, a required source is an interview with a professional in that area of study, however, I did not have to interview a person for the previous paper. Both assignments require multiple sources for the purpose of comparison, credibility, and a deeper understanding of the topic. This assignment will be approximately five APA formatted pages displaying a synthesis of your research and interview to develop a complete analysis of rhetoric's purpose in your field of study.

Questions/Confusions:

1. For my major (Public Health), there is a Bachelor of Arts option as well as a Bachelor of Science. Would you prefer that my interview source is of the same program that I am pursuing or would either work?
2. How will the criteria that we are being evaluated on be weighted?
3. I'm confused on the reading examples we are supposed to ask for. Are they just anything concerning the field of study? readings that they have studied? related current events?

Rhetoric Definition

Rhetoric, considered both a study and an art, involves precise selection, arrangement, and overall composition of a message that communicates a certain idea for a particular audience. It is mastery of your language and controlling what your audience gets from it.
