Make sure to read the attached documents for more detailed information about this assignment.
When you write an argument, you are faced with a number of rhetorical choices; you have to decide which arguments will be most effective in persuading your audience and what kind of language is most appropriate for them. If you decided to convert your written argument into an electronic argument (i.e. a website or other web document), you would be faced with a multitude of additional rhetorical choices. You would have to consider what images might work best with your argument. You must decide what color scheme would best complement your tone and style.  You should ask yourself if you should include links to other sites and what those sites suggest about your own ethos.
In this assignment, you will examine a website and the choices made by its creator; in other words, you will be writing a rhetorical analysis of a website. While analyzing the website, you must create an argument to show how the creators visual design choices affect the authors ability to effectively reach his/her audience.
In your essay, you might focus your claim around one of the following questions (these are examples and should not limit what you might argue):

What is the purpose of the website and did it succeed in achieving its goals?  What elements in the design and text either helped it succeed or kept it from doing so?
Does the website claim to be for one audience but really speak to another?  Is this a failure on the part of the website?
Does the website include content that contradicts or undermines its overall claim?  How does this affect the websites ability to achieve the authors purpose?

You should not pick just any website for this assignment. You must pick a website that advocates a particular point of view; rather than a social networking or shopping website, you should choose a website that is clear in its purpose to persuade. You do NOT have to pick a website that is necessarily credible; addressing the ethos of the writer might be something you need to address in your analysis to show why the website lacks credibility. 
Your rhetorical analysis should demonstrate the following learning objectives:

Awareness of the audience to whom you are speaking
Ability to enter into a scholarly conversation
Awareness of the purpose of your claim
Ability to analyze, interpret, and think critically
Ability to use critical thinking and analysis in order to uncover how a text is created
Ability to analyze culture and society through analysis
Ability to write a qualified and narrow argumentative thesis statement
Ability to write and organize paragraphs with topic sentences, evidence, explanations, and analyses
Ability to synthesize information from various sources
Ability to craft an argument with different types of relevant, credible, and detailed support
Ability to summarize, paraphrase, and quote while citing correctly in MLA to avoid plagiarism
Ability to converse in standard, academic English
