Web article draft

My web article topic:

My persuasion article, based on my previous submissions, is about how individual differences in personality and experiences influence a person’s dream content. My purpose of this persuasive article is to push this information and evidence forward so more people will believe in this statement. I hypothesized that a person’s dreams directly correlate to their personality and what they have gone through and experienced in their lifetime. I will price this to an audience with evidence and persuasive writing techniques. This is the thesis I decided on because it leaves a side for people to argue against my findings and use evidence and other opinions to combat the claim I made. People may hypothesize against me and argue that dream content may correlate with different things, such as medications, anxiety, emotions, sleep patterns, or some may argue even external temperature. Based on my findings I believe in my previously stated hypothesis that it is the most affective way to predict dream content. I will include graphics of both people dreaming/sleeping in peace, paired with different charts and graphs that prove my thesis correct. I want to share this information in a persuasive manner by stacking evidence to sway the audience into backing me and believing that the most affective and prominent deciding factor of dream content is based on personality. I want to remain formal to show scientific proof of my thesis in a manner that influences people to believe in expert analysis.

This assignment asks you to lay out some ideas for your web article. If you are still stuck or unsure about how you’ll approach your article, it is okay to use this assignment to explore a couple possibilities or start planning an idea that you’re still figuring out how to approach. As always, it is better to submit something on time that is a little unpolished than it is to turn in nothing because you’re worried it is not good enough. 

Step 1: Explain 

Discuss your purpose and audience:What do you hope to accomplish with your web article? Are you trying to persuade your audience to change their behavior? Take action? Argue in favor of a particular solution? And who is this argument is directed to? Be as specific as you’re able to with your audience — since you’re writing persuasively you should think about who you’re hoping to persuade, to take action based on your argument. Take some time to explain why you have decided on this purpose and what you really want to say.

1. Discuss your thesis: State the working thesis that you will assert in your web article, and explain why this will be the stance you’ve decided to take. Here, it is a good idea to also reference some of the research you’ve done, showing how you plan on incorporating different sources in support of this stance.

Step 2: Draft

Provide me with a short draft of your report – at least 300 words (between 1/3 and 1/2 of the final draft). This can be of any section of your report but it should be as well written as you can make it. I want to be able to comment meaningfully on it and understand the direction you are headed in.
