Reflective Essay on the Discipline Project
For this reflective essay, spend time explaining your translation, from scholarly source to popular source, in detail. The reflection should address things such as the visual and written conventions you had to revise in the scholarly source to meet the popular model conventions. What were some of the organizational strategies you followed? What content needed to be revised and why? How did you modify word choice and tone? Popular sources stick to the essentials, but still cover important aspects of the scholarly source such as the importance of the research and the findings.
Lastly, make a clear connection between the rhetoric in your selected scholarly source and your discipline. What is the purpose of this rhetoric? Is it effective? Does it leave gaps in research?
