Material Detail

Successful writers think carefully about the rhetorical situation and use it to create messages that engage, inform, and compel audiences to respond in certain ways. In other words, understanding fundamental principles of speaker, audience, and purpose will help you clarify your writing goals and the strategies that will help you reach those goals.  

In this assignment, you’ll use a generative AI of your choice (e.g., ChatGPT, Bard, Scribe) to craft a writing prompt that provides key elements of the rhetorical situation. The process of refining your prompt (i.e., your rhetorical goals) and evaluating the text that is generated will help you understand the significance of the rhetorical situation and how it can be used to inform your own writing.
