EXAMPLE OF FINAL PROJECT LAYOUT

WPA Guidelines Final Project

Rhetorical Knowledge

• Focus on a purpose

DEFINE:

 

This means that I have a reason for writing and I can stick with that reason throughout my essay.

 

EXPLAIN:   

 

It is evident that I know how to focus on a purpose since in my narrative essay my purpose was to entertain and I focused on that throughout the essay.  In my first paragraph I wrote, “…………………..”  This, I think, is entertaining, and that is the reason I wrote the essay.  Later, in paragraph 2 I wrote, “……………..,” and that proves that I am sticking to my goal.  Finally, in my last paragraph I wrote, “…………………,” and from all these examples, it is clear I can focus on a purpose.
