Document Summary

Find a topic that matters- to you, and to others. If you can choose your topic, begin by considering your own interests. Whatever your interests, you"ll be sure to find some way of conducting rhetorical/process/causal/data analysis. Make your topic matter to your audience. If you"re analyzing rhetoric, you need to look at what the text you"re examining says and how it supports its claims. If you"re analyzing a process, you"ll need to decide whether your analysis will be informational or instructional. If you"re analyzing causes, you"re looking for answers to why something happened. In addition, although an immediate cause may be obvious long-term causes may also have contributed. You will also need to do research. List all the causes you can think of. Think about long-term causes, ones that originated long ago but are ultimately responsible for what happened. If you"re analyzing data, you"re trying to identify patterns in info that you or someone else has gathered.
