For this assignment, you will apply the skills from your
group presentation in an individualized format.
Here, you will examine a number of books and journals in your field to
better understand the type of writing produced in your field. You will want to examine the genres of
writing and what subjects appear to be of interest in the field. The questions on pages 93-94 of The Wayne Writer will prove especially
helpful to you.
You may, if appropriate, use the journal from your group
presentation as one of the journals.
Depending on your subject of study, you may choose to
examine generalist journals in your field or very narrowly focused journals
(for example, in medicine The New England
Journal of Medicine would be a generalist publication; a journal focusing
on epidemiology would be more field specific).
You will need to examine the last two years of publication for at least
five journals.
While you may bring in books as examples of longer writing
within your field, there is no specific requirement to include them.
All assignments must be submitted on Blackboard as well as
in print. Works Cited pages never count
toward the page requirement.
