Professional Writing Document Analysis

Please Help Due Tomorrow

The
Professional Document Analysis helps you to explore a professional
community of your choice. In this assignment, you will analyze genres
valued by that community.

Use our course readings, discussions, resources garnered previous assignments (e.g. professional e-mail, data collection) to inform your analysis.

1. identify a kind of document that is important to your community.
2. analyze one text important to your professional community.
3. evaluate the meaning, intended audience, and intended outcome of the document.

Avoid summarizing your chosen document, but explain how the document contributes to and functions within a professional community. Discuss how the document conveys a particular message for the professional discourse community.

Consider the following questions about your chosen document as you write your essay:

• What is the purpose of the document for the professional discourse community?
• What message does the document convey for the professional discourse community? Who is the target audience of this document?
• What themes or patterns emerge between the analyzed document and characteristics/function of the professional discourse community?
• Ultimately, consider the big picture: What is the
  author’s purpose and how does the author (writer, speaker, builder,
  etc.), attempt to achieve that purpose – How does the writer use rhetorical appeals to relay the message within the discussed document?
