Analyzing Disciplinary Conventions: “The Coldest Weapon of All” or “Culture and Stigma.” Describe the essay’s use of a few disciplinary conventions.
Make an argument about how effectively the writer employs his/her discipline’s reading and writing conventions.
As with other short papers this semester, your paper should answer the questions below, but must be in essay form: please do not answer the questions point
by point. Instead, you should draft answers and then transform them into a flowing, academic essay.
Questions for drafting the paper:
1. What are the writer’s academic credentials? Is the writer an expert on the topic? How do you know that?
2. What is the essay’s rhetorical situation (its purpose, audience, stance, genre, media/design)?
3. Which disciplinary conventions are evident in the essay? (Be sure to provide specific examples of the conventions you are analyzing). How does the
writer present those conventions to the audience?
4. Does the writer use disciplinary conventions effectively for his/her intended audience? Why or not?
