One way to facilitate the process is to analyze the choices made by the author(s) of a document, and considering how those choices apply to the situation (e.g., purpose and audience) of your own communication form. This interactive workshop will cover effective strategies for identifying and evaluating the rhetorical choices of others, and techniques for crafting your aim and narrative.<br><br><strong>Please email 1-2 published samples of a genre you intend to produce. Email the samples to <a href="mailto:lroldan@mit.edu"><span style="text-decoration-line: none;">lroldan@mit.edu</span></a> by Friday, October 20</strong></p><p>	<strong>Speaker’s Background:</strong> Lecturer in MIT’s Writing Across the Curriculum Program since 2005, primarily teaching in the Biology Department (7.02, 7.18), Biological Engineering (20.109), and Chemistry (5.36). BA in English (Stanford); PhD in Biology (MIT).</p><p>	</p>
