Analyzing Genres About the Rise in Rents post COVID 19 Pandemic and its effects on evictions that lead to homelessness

Task

Project Overview:
For this assignment, you will need to choose three (3) genres based on YOUR chosen human rights topic and then write an analysis of those genres. You will analyze the common features that a text has to display to be considered part of a genre, and you will determine the expectations for writers working in that genre. By examining academic and professional genres you become more knowledgeable about these particular genres, but more importantly, you will develop analytical skills that will help you work with any new genre you will encounter in your academic or professional career.

Project Details:
Carefully consider the concept of genre that applies to this class (Rhetoric and Composition), how to recognize different genres, and the features that differentiate one genre from another. As you begin, think about all the different genres that may communicate about your topic such as academic articles, documentaries, humanitarian organization websites, government documents, posters, documentary photography, instruction sets, editorial and opinion pieces, essays, and even comics.

Rhetorical Situation:

Who are the authors of the samples you chose? Do you have to have certain credentials or specialized training to work with this genre? If the author is unknown, why is that?
Who is the main audience for this genre? Are there any groups that are excluded? (e.g., you can say that highly specialized medical reports exclude people with no medical training)
What is the occasion for the genre? What is it trying to accomplish?
What kinds of issues does it address? Are there any limitations in terms of what kinds of issues can be raised?
Language and Form:

What formality and complexity of language are expected and appropriate in this genre?
What attitudes and tone are expected and appropriate in this genre? Do you see any deviations from these expectations, and if yes – what effect do they create?
What are some common terms or specialized expressions you notice?
What are the format expectations for this genre? What are the typical length, structure and organization, layout, visual elements?
Does this genre interact with other writing in any way? Why or why not? (e.g., do your samples include references or links to other texts? Do they mention other texts or other writing on the subject?)
