Assignment 3 Abstract

What is your research question/rhetorical situation?

Why are females more prone to acl ruptures and take longer to recover from acl ruptures?

What is your connection to rhetorical situation and why are you uniquely placed to write about it?

This has happened to me before and I learned about this from another person who got the injury.

Where do you imagine your writing “existing”? (newspaper, magazine, youtube, personal blog)

I imagine mine being something like a personal blog or youtube since it is something that I went through and this is written based on how I learned about it.

Who is your target audience?

My target audience would be female athletes and athlete parents and friends mainly high school athletes and college athletes since it happens to them more than other age ranges.

What form will your writing take? (Research paper, narrative, letter, script.)

My writing will take form in a letter.

Why is this form the most effective way to communicate to your target audience?

This form is most effective because my target audience would be more likely to read a letter on a personal blog compared to a research paper.

What is the value you’re trying to impart on your audience?

I’m trying to raise more awareness for female athletes so they know what to expect if this scenario were to happen to them. I also want parents of athletes to understand the extent of the injuries and what the process will be like.
