week 5 discussion

Provide an analysis of this advertisement for a nursing program Download advertisement for a nursing program. This is not a summary; make sure that you offer an interpretation of the advertisement and that you “read between the lines” in order to address each aspect of analysis:

• Audience
• Purpose
• Content
• Mood
• Style
• Structure

In addition to your main response, you must also post substantive responses to at least two of your classmates’ posts in this thread. Your response should include elements such as follow-up questions, further exploration of topics from the initial post, or requests for further clarification or explanation on some points made by the classmates.

Your discussion post must INTERPRET the text–not simply describe or summarize–which you are accustomed to doing. You must “read between the lines.”

This is a writing class, so how you write your posts matters.

First, begin with your interpretation; this is your thesis. Put it in Bold!

Second, chunk your supporting information into paragraphs of 1-3 sentences. This will make it easy for everyone to read.

Third, use the SIX CRITERIA (Audience, Purpose, Content, Mood, Style, Structure) to INTERPRET the text/prompt. Put these SIX words in BOLD just like the examples I posted in the Announcements.

Fourth, you must use at least one (but 2-3 is better) quotation from the text in your 300-400 word post!

Finally, don’t wait until the last minute. You can start posting on Monday, which is encouraged. The earlier you post, the more the class will be talking about your ideas. In the end, it makes it easier and more fun for you. Nonetheless, your initial post–your interpretation of the text–is due by Midnight on Wednesday.

BELOW are examples of exactly what your initial post should look like.
