I put my position paper in the files and I want you to rewrite it into a exploratory paper. The assigments to that paper are in the files aswell you can also use the same sources. After the sources I want you to copy that ( will come after the sentence) in and answer it.

Writer:

Reader:

Read the draft through once. Then reread, commenting on the following items as you go:

1. Title: Does the student writer employ a title that includes both the purpose for writing and the subject? Is the RQ used in the title? Make your comments here:

2. Introduction. In the introduction, has the student writer explained the issues exigence? Is enough background information included so readers will understand the issue? Is there too much background and history, thus diluting the exploratory purpose? Is a research question asked in the introduction? Is there a claim in the introduction? (The claim for an assignment of this type usually argues for understanding the complexity of the issue.) Is there a helpful preview of perspectives? Would one be helpful? Make your comments here:

3. Perspectives. Are sections used in the body to describe at least three perspectives rhetors (arguers) take on the issue? Is each perspective named and described (in the subheading) accurately and consistently? Do the perspectives differ enough from one another? Does the student writer avoid using neutral as a perspective? Is the preview of perspectives followed in order in the body of the Exploratory essay? Make your comments here:

4. Rhetors. Are at least two rhetors used for each perspective? Is each rhetors credibility and bias discussed? Is the rhetor’s argument summarized, with the argumentative claim + reasons + key evidence explained? Is textual evidence pulled in by way of quotation and paraphrase to show what arguments the rhetors in that perspective make? Are paragraphs broken and transitions used where appropriate? Make your comments here:

5. Objectivity. Has the student writer handled the three perspectives as objectively as possible? Rhetors definitely have opinions the student writer is reporting on, but the student writer should hold on to their own opinion until the conclusion, where they may express it (or not). Make your comments here:

6. Conclusion: Is the conclusion used to sum up the findings on the three perspectives? Does the student writer talk about their position on the issue? Make your comments here:

7. Citing sources. Does the student writer use MLA style of citation? No in-text parentheticals are necessary in the paper because we’re introducing each rhetor with their name, title, publication and date. Does the student writer include an “Annotated List of Works Cited”? Note problems with citation here:

8. Annotations: Does the student writer construct a note that takes into addresses rhetor qualification, exigence, audience, constraints and the text’s fit?
