 Writing Concepts  and Genre

In this class we’ll study key concepts about writing

(Rhetorical concepts) that exist within writing situations

and that every writer should be familiar with in order to

be effective in a writing situation. These concepts might

include terms you’ve heard before — audience, for

example — but we’ll explore them as they relate to

developing knowledge about writing.

Our goal by the end of the semester is to have developed

knowledge about writing, primarily based on the

concepts of writing we’ll explore and your critical

thinking and reflection about how writing works in

various contexts. We’ll also explore some of the practices

writers use to shape and evolve their writing from an

idea to a final draft. The knowledge you develop about

concepts and practices of writing is something you’ll be

able to call upon in any writing situation – the idea is that

you’ll be able to apply that knowledge appropriately for

the situation, making your writing more successful. We’ll

start with the concepts of audience and genre.

You may think you know what audiences are, but have

you thought about targeting particular audiences? Have

you ever thought about the audience when you write?

Your professor is not your audience when writing in college, so who is? It depends on a number of factors.

What about genre? Have you ever thought about the

genres of writing you encounter, or when you choose to

write something the choice of genre you make?

The PowerPoint and Readings below will introduce you

to these two concepts and answering the questions in

this assignment will get you started on discussing what

you know about writing.

There are multiple factors to consider within what is

known as the rhetorical situation (or the writing

situation, if only written). The rhetorical situation exists

any time we communicate — there is always an audience,

and other elements involved. You will read about

rhetorical situations as explained by the Purdue OWL

and review the PowerPoint at the end (also located

under Readings below) which you will want to return to

again, and again as you work with this foundational

concept.
