Read: Advocacy Text and Rhetorical Analysis Assignment

around 500 words of script

The Advocacy Text is an es.say that asks you to identify and research a topic that you care about and create a proposal argument about that particular topic. What is most notable about this assignment is that you will put your rhetoric out in the real world so you will need to strategize how you will get your message to a real and intended audience. For this assignment, you need to propose your topic idea, initial research plan, and strategy for getting your advocacy text to an intended audience.
