NTR 330 Study Guide - Final Guide: National Communication Association, Op-Ed, Jargon
Document Summary
For this assignment, you will use your knowledge about the national school lunch program and the healthy, hunger-free kids act of 2010 to write an op-ed article. The purpose of this assignment is for you to develop an opinion about the controversy and argue that opinion to the lay public, in a concise, written form. Your message should influence the audience"s attitudes, beliefs, and actions: support the argument with strong evidence that is credible, pertinent, and understandable. You need to select evidence from credible sources; otherwise, your argument will look not credible. If your evidence is off-topic, the reader will easily lose interest, so make sure your evidence is pertinent. It also needs to be understandable on the level of the reader not too technical or simplistic: contain stories. Evidence alone will not influence the reader to support your argument. Stories will support your argument, allowing the reader to connect with and remember your argument.
