This “radical revision” assignment will have you transforming your argumentative research paper into a different kind/style of writing that you will attempt to PUBLISH somewhere (or send out into the world/beyond the walls of our classroom). Essentially, this assignment will show how you can adjust your writing, tone, and organization depending on your targeted audience.
In this assignment, you will radically revise your researched argument into a piece of writing or performance that has the potential to directly make a difference in the world.
The challenge of this two-page letter is to identify a person who has authority or expertise to help disseminate the findings of your research paper.
The purpose of your letter is to present the problem, what you discovered during your research and your suggested solution. This letter will ultimately ask the person in power for some form of action.
