Writing For Digital And Source-based Tasks
Overview
Question 8 is the strangest and most valuable question on your paper, because it is the only one where reading and writing are marked inside the same answer. Two texts you met an hour earlier in Section A become the raw material for something new: a website contribution, an article, a speech or a letter, aimed at an audience neither source was written for. Nothing you produce there is invented, and nothing you produce there may be copied.
This note teaches the move that sits between those two prohibitions. You will learn how to harvest a source for what your reader needs rather than for what is interesting, how to make one argument out of two texts that were not talking to each other, how to attribute in your own voice, and how a contribution to a website differs from everything else you will write in this examination.
Objectives
- Write contributions to a website
- Respond to source material by writing for a given audience, form or purpose
