* Author: Brad Jon Schoenfeld Assignment 5: Rhetorical Comparison
Overview:
•
•
•
You will write a rhetorical comparison of two texts, totaling 600 to 900 words.
This paper is worth 25% of the semester grade.
Important dates:
o We will have a library orientation on April 26th
o Workshop will be the week of May 6th
o The final draft will be due May 16th at 4:10pm
Purpose:
In this paper, you will:
• Research to find two credible sources who discuss the same topic, but from different
perspectives;
• Compare the differences in rhetoric between the texts; how did the text change when
the authors wrote for a different audience?
When understand the rhetorical situation of a text, we should be able to compare and contrast
the similarities and differences between texts. This is done by demonstrating critical reading
and showing an understanding of how the authors used audience appeals in different ways to
achieve a different purpose with a different audience.
Development for Audience:
The audience for this assignment will be an academic audience who has not read the articles.
To best achieve your purpose with your audience, you’ll need to:
• Choose two texts that have a reasonable amount of credibility for an academic
audience;
• Closely read the selected texts, understanding WHAT the author is saying;
• Critically read the selected texts, identifying and exploring rhetorical elements;
• Develop the rhetorical comparison by:
o Explaining the article title, the author, the publication, the date of
publication, and the overall argument of the article in a single sentence;
o Writing brief key-point summaries which includes the author’s thesis and key
points, leaving out details and your own opinion;
o Signaling through author tags that you are always aware that you are
summarizing someone else’s ideas, not your own;
o Demonstrating that you understand how and why authors may choose
different purposes and audience appeals, depending on who they are
speaking to.
Requirements

You will find TWO articles that can be about any topic you would like!
o The two sources should NOT have the same argument, and should be clearly aimed
at different audiences.
o These perspectives do NOT have to be opposite; however, the more distinct the
perspectives, the easier your task will be.
o The two sources need to be credible for an academic audience.
o The sources must be at least 750 words long, each. Otherwise, you won’t have
enough material to compare.
Before comparing the two sources, you MUST explain the audiences for each source.
o In your introduction paragraph, explain the two sources you found, including the
topic of the sources, and the different perspectives the authors take.
In the body paragraphs, examine one rhetorical choice, and show how that changed
depending on which audience was being addressed.
To compare the sources, consider some of the same questions you did when explaining
how you were able to identify the audience. However, this time you will show how those
criteria change from one text to another when the audience changes.
o Tone – How does the author feel about the topic, and how do they want the
audience to feel about it? Does the audience in one source already agree with
the author?
o Vocabulary – Does the author use easily-accessible language, or do they use
complex, sophisticated vocabulary? Do they explain the meaning of important
concepts or the importance of ideas, or do they assume that the audience
already understands their meaning? Do the authors use different language to
describe the same concepts in each source?
o Evidence – Does the author use any evidence? What kind do they use (e.g. it
could be statistics, anecdotes, personal experience, findings from research,
reports from news, etc.)? Would you expect there to be a specific type of
evidence in this genre? Does one audience have higher expectations for evidence
than the other?
o Context – Who is likely to be familiar with or knowledgeable about this issue?
What kind of background information would the audience need to know before
being able to fully understand this text? Does the audience already understand
that background, or does the author explain it?
o Genre – What genre is this text? Who typically “reads” this genre? How does the
format or content of the genre change when the audience changes?
o Publisher – Who typically reads this articles from this publisher? How does the
publisher help you understand that the audience is different for each article?
o Purpose – What is the author’s purpose? How do you know that the purpose is
appropriate for their audience? How did that purpose change when the audience
changed?
o Audience appeals – How is the authors’ use of ethos, logos, or pathos similar or
different in each text? (Only discuss one audience appeal per paragraph.)

Your tone should be appropriate for an academic audience. Since this is a comparison of
the rhetorical situation, you should NOT respond to the text by giving your opinion or
evaluating the message in any way.
Use MLA style, 12-point font, Times New Roman, and 1-inch margins.
You should include a properly-formatted Works Cited page.
A grading guide will be available on Canvas.
