The purpose of this assignment is for you to practice analyzing a genre. You should analyze the genre using the steps outlined in the Conducting Genre Analysis worksheets.
Your essay should describe your findings, and it should include an appendix of writing samples you analyzed. In your essay, focus on explaining your findings in an organized manner and supporting findings with evidence from your samples. Your evidence can be example phrases from your sample texts or references to the sample texts (e.g, Sample 1). Tip: Do not simply state the data (the textual features) — explain the point you are trying to make! Western academia expects you to explicitly state the connection!
