Sample Project Entry

WPA Guidelines Project

Rhetorical Knowledge

·       Focus on a purpose

       

Define: 

Focusing on purpose means that I have to stay on the same subject throughout my essay and stay on track with that the whole time.

Explain:

In my narrative essay, my purpose was to explain that I was a creator/victim, and I did that throughout my essay.  In the first paragraph I wrote: “(insert your quote here).”  This is about being a creator/victim, so that shows me focusing on a purpose.  In my second paragraph, I wrote, “………………” and you can see I’m still writing about the same thing.  Lastly, in my conclusion I wrote, “………………….” and that shows that I am still focusing on my purpose.  From all of these examples, it is clear I can focus on a purpose in my essays.
