Two Americas
from Kelly Rawson
This assignment appears toward the end of my third unit of WRT 105. This
unit is concerned with gender and sexuality studies more broadly. We begin
by looking at gender studies through the lens of transgender studies and
intersexuality. Next, we will use the gay marriage debate as a case study to
begin understanding the rhetorical situation--voice, argument, audience,
etc. Finally, we will turn to Matthew Shepherd to discuss heteronormativity
and the climate for queer people in America. My aim for this assignment is
to get them to begin claiming their opinions and supporting them with data.
I am also hoping that this assignment will generate a fruitful discussion
where the students can make each other responsible for their claims.
