Task:
This week we learned about our Unit I project and we discussed rhetorical situations and rhetorical appeals. We paid attention to the different elements of a rhetorical situation (e.g., audience, purpose, context, genre). Keeping that in mind, choose ONE image in our Unit I folder of options and write a detailed analysis of ONE aspect (e.g., audience, purpose, context, genre) of the rhetorical situation based on that image. Your detailed analysis should be between 250 and 300 words (full paragraph) and you should provide sufficient support and evidence.
Requirements:
250-300 words
One image from the available options
One element of a rhetorical situation
Support and evidence for claims
For this assignment, write an essay at least 500 words in length that discusses the affiliations between domestic terrorists
and transnational terrorists. A point to consider is how the threats have migrated outside of Al-Qaeda and the nations of
Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, and Somalia.
Traditionally, transnational terrorism groups are classified as heterogeneous groups, foreign fighters, and suicide
bombers. Pick at least one terrorist group that fits the classification of transnational terrorism. Conduct research to provide
an overview on the affiliations between your chosen group and domestic terrorist groups. How do these affiliations
between your chosen terrorist groups relate to the various types of terrorist cells, the chain network, and terrorist
organization models? You must use at least two sources in addition to the textbook.
Please be sure to use headings and subheadings, as needed, to organize your paper and viewpoints. Follow APA style
guidelines. The title and reference page do not count towards the minimum word length requirements. An abstract is not
required.
For this assignment, complete an annotated bibliography for the final research paper related to your chosen topic from
Unit Ill. An annotated bibliography is a list of citations of books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a
brief (usually about 100 words), descriptive and evaluative paragraph; this is called the annotation. The purpose of the
annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. This assignment will help
you organize your sources for use in the research paper due in Unit VII.
Each annotated bibliography entry consists of two parts; the reference citation in APA format, followed by the summary for
that reference. First, locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information
and ideas on your topic from the Waldorf Online Library. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose five
sources that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic. Next, cite each source using APA style in the form of
reference citations.
Finally, write a concise annotation below each reference that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or
article. Include one or more sentences that explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic. Your annotated
bibliography should be at least two pages in length. Include a title page using proper APA style.
Please use the following format to name your file and submit as an attachment in Blackboard:
