What Are Factors Limiting Disabled People?

Compose a statement of purpose for your A2 Wakelet project. This is an exercise in establishing clear, precise language to guide yourself, and to convince others that you’ve done the work to make a viable plan—that you’ve made yourself qualified and capable of pursuing this project. Divide your statement into the following categories and answer each one:

Purpose: Quickly tell us what you’re doing and why it’s worth doing.

Audience: Define a few broad categories of audience who would most likely read a Wakelet project on this particular subject. What assumptions and expectations would each likely carry into their reading of your work? Which audiences might be resistant to your way of framing this conversation? Why? What rhetorical choices will you make to minimize such resistance?

Context: Consider the time, place, medium, previous narratives of your subject, and anything else that surrounds the text you will produce for A2. What are the most relevant contexts for you to consider as you work? Why?

Risks: Identify potential risks in you doing this project in the way you’ve decided to do it. What rhetorical effects will you work to deliberately avoid? How will you try to avoid them?
