Rhetorical Situation: You are asked by the editor of New York Magazine to submit a review of
something current that their readers would be interested in that will go in their online
magazine. This piece may be in any category that interests you such as: News, Music,
Entertainment, or even Style.
Purpose: This assignment is to give you practice in the genre of review as well as multimodal
composing and principles of design.
Audience: Who is the audience for New York Magazine? More particularly, who would be the
audience for your review? Remember I read this magazine, as do many 19 year old. I read some
pieces and not othersI am sure that is the same for a 19 year old.
Youll need to determine the audience for your review. Ask yourself these questions:
Which group of people do you want to inform, persuade, or educate?
Which vocabulary, style, or purpose would be appropriate for your intended audience?
Which details are important to this audience?
Background: New York Magazine is an online magazine that covers our world in many
different modes. The text in this magazine is multimodal. The medias that are found in here are
not only text based, but commonly visual and audio orientated. Some of these include videos,
posters, montages, photo essays, and infographics.

What are you going to do?
First, Identify something youd like to review. Youre free to choose anything, but its in
your best interest to choose something youre knowledgeable about and care about.
Second, Establish the target audience for your review (what are the characteristics of a
person who may be interested in your subject? Where and under what circumstances
might they seek out a review of your subject?).
Third, Establish your and your audiences common expectations (qualities youd expect
your subject to have).
Fourth, Research your subject to gather background information. You must have 2
outside resources. You will cite them in MLA format.
Fifth, Go experience your subject! (dine at the restaurant, play the new video game,
listen to the album, try the product, etc.). Make extensive field notes during and after
your experience to refer back to while youre composing.
Sixth, Compose your multimodal composition!
Format: You may choose to present your Review in one of three mediums:
Radio Segment, under 5 minutes, like you might hear on an NPR radio show (use
something like Audacity or another audio recording program you are familiar with)
Vlog (video blog), under 5 minutes, like you might see on entertainment television or
online. Make this is multimodal. Use a program that allows you to insert text or images
in addition to your vlog recording (use iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, or another such
program)
A 750-1000 word text and image Blog post, like you might see on a newspapers website
or blog (use a blog hosting site such as wordpress or blogger)
Reflection: Reflection: Your reflection document should be a written text of approximately 500
words. Here are the guidelines: A) Describe SLOs B,D,F in terms of how you worked with
them in this assignment; B)What goals did you set for yourself and your project? Why did you
set these goals? Did your goals change throughout the project? How? Why? C) Explain the
purpose and audience for your multimodal project. D) Explain and reflect upon your review
features and why you employed them in the way you did. What is the intended effect on your
audience of these features?
