For this project, you will have read “The Rhetoric of American Indian Activism in the 1960s and 1970s” by John Sanchez and Mary E. Stuckey (the “Lens” text), as well as the “Alcatraz Proclamation” and “The Letter” written by the collective activist group “Indians of all Tribes,” with Adam Fortunate Eagle being the primary author.  The second section of the “Lens” text focuses on the four specific audiences which activists had to engage and the rhetorical devices used to address those respective audiences – these are the primary “tools” you will use in your analysis, although the entirety of the “lens” text is there to help you, contextually.
You will use “The Rhetoric” text as a lens on “The Proclamation” and “The Letter,” exploring how the specific rhetorical moves discussed in the “lens” text are implemented in the target texts. You will pick at least one example from each of the target texts and describe how it works, why it may have been used, and possible effects on the audience.  You need to use a total of three examples, but you must analyze BOTH target texts.
Ultimately, you need to determine how effective the activists’ strategies were for the 4 main target audience. 
Successful Papers will do the following:
Introduce the topic and the text on rhetoric (the “lens”). Briefly introduce the target texts, and describe what the paper will do (metadiscourse).
Analyze one element of context (audience being the most pertinent for this paper) from each of the target texts, using the “lens” text to provide you with the tools to conduct your analysis.  Using examples, discuss how the specific portion of the text you are examining works, why it may have been used in the context, and possible effects on the audience
Present a conclusion.  In other words, answer the question “So what, who cares?” What is significant about the work you did/things you learned in the course of writing this paper?
Implement proper stylistic conventions to include: sentence variation, college-level vocabulary, target audience, complex sentence structure.
Smoothly integrate supporting evidence (quotes) into the text. 
Be cohesive, with a clear structure that uses effective transitions to hold together the discussion. 
Include proper MLA documentation, with in-text citations and a Works Cited list at the end

1. Smith gives examples of times he remained silent but shouldn’t have. Are there times in your life where you felt the same? What happened?
2. Smith says “Silence is the residue of fear.” What does that mean to you?
3. How would you respond to him if given the chance? How can your/our voices help address social problems in our country?
4. Once you have written your responses, you are to respond to two of your peers’ posts in at least 100 words each. (I will give you the two peer responses after you are done with the first part)

Introduction: Sentence Combining Final 
Over the last seven weeks, we have completed two modules that focused on sentence combining (Module 3 and 6). Sentence combining is a way to diversify and improve your writing styles on a sentence level. For academic writing, we want to be able to have a quiver of stylistic choices to best engage our audience, and this test is meant to assess how well you understood methods 1-11 in Combine and Compose.
Before you write the 25 sentences, review the modules

The Final
You will upload a document to receive credit for this test. 
Part 1: Cinderella (from Combine and Compose )
In Combine and Compose, you will see a sentence combining test on page 77. Do not complete the entire test. You are only responsible for completing #76-90 on page 85 and 86 in the text. For this portion of the assignment, combine using ANY method (sentence combining methods 1-11), making sure the method you choose is both logical and correct. There may be more than one correct method. 
This test will assess how well you understood methods 1-11, and each question is worth 4 points.  Each sentence cluster will ask you to combine the sentences using the method it demands. 
If you do not have access to the book, you can view the sentence clusters below:

In other cases, you may look for research related to the genre, theme, or historical context of these works. You must have at least 5 sources. (This is a minimum number. There is no maximum number.) Your sources must include at least 2 works of literature that we have studied during this course. Your sources must also include at least 2 academic journal articles or academic nonfiction books.
