The genre I will use for Unit 3 is a script for Ted Talk. This particular mentor text doesn’t have an author’s name. The paragraphs are pretty long and are divided into multiple sections. In this Ted Talk script, imagery is used. In ted talk videos, imagery is also used. The writing is in the third person point of view. The paper is just one person talking. The script included questions that would be engaging and would connect with the audience. It also had sources that backed up the topic. A scholar most likely writes this ted talk script.

Class Meetings & Times: Mondays & Wednesdays, 4-5:40 PM, in Namm 521
Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
