Example 2:
Example 3:
Example 4: (This is not exactly an example of the genre, but an example of where my project would be published).
Example 5: (This example of the genre is slightly more contextual based and less argumentative).
Social Context:
1. The genre is typically set in some sort of sports or cycling specific website, such as a cycling journal or a cycling news site.
2. The subject of the genre is cycling, and specifically what is going on in competitive cycling and what arguments are being made about this occurrence.
3. Cycling fans use the genre to keep up with competitive cycling news and to explore different arguments.
4. The genre is used mostly when there are big cycling events, or some big controversy happens in the cycling world. Its main purpose it to be visually organized which communicates an argument clearly and powerfully.
Rhetorical Patterns of the Genre:
1. Typically there is an initial slide or two of context, highlighting the important pieces of the context that need to be understood for the argument to make sense.
2. For the most part the visual style of the genre highlights and leads to an emphasis in logos and pathos. The patterns in these approaches all center around use of imagery to strengthen the argument.
3. The only similar organization has to do with context. There is typically introductory context, and then the genre launches into the argument in whatever order the author finds most effective.
4. The sentences in the genre can tend to be longer, and are thus more complex. However, there are not that many trends in terms of sentence structure that are common across the board.
5. Word choice can also vary, but for the majority of content is more academic and informative. However, depending on the situation it can become more informal.
Analyzing what these patterns reveal about social context:
1. The genre includes those who have the technology to access it, but excludes those who do not. It is also very specific to cycling and sports fans, and excludes those who aren't interested.
2. The genre doesn't encourage specific roles for readers or writers. (Maybe I am misunderstanding this question.)
3. The genre values that are encouraged for users of the genre are whatever the topic's values are.
4. Visual content and organized content are the most valued by the genre. Nothing specific is considered least valuable.
After reading Stef and Bailey's posts, I am not sure if I misunderstood this assignment entirely, or if the questions were more straightforwards and required simpler answers for my specific genre. Also, I realized that for most people their genre and place of publication were the same, and mine are slightly different, so I am not sure if this played into it, or if I need to be considering the place of publication as my genre.
