The document is about an Online Writing Lab (OWL) website created by Excelsior College to help students with writing. The OWL contains 10 guides covering various writing topics, including a comprehensive guide on assignment analysis. It instructs students to review the Assignment Analysis page, which explains rhetoric and how it can help with assignments. It also guides students through pages on purpose, audience, voice, and changing audiences with different writing examples. Students are asked to write a one-page reflection summarizing what they learned and analyzing the purpose, audience, and voice for an upcoming literacy narrative assignment.
