[From 10$/Pg] Every Discussion Post Must 500 wordsDescriptionThe core of the Advocacy
Text and Rhetorical Analysis assignment is a proposal argument so this week you will take a
deep dive into the features and structure of proposal arguments. Irrespective of the topic
you chose for this final assignment, your advocacy is contingent upon a (1) a call for change,
often in response to a problem (2) focused on creating a better future or greater good, and
(3) your advocacy or call to action is focus on what the audience can do to effect the change
you seek. In order to make this argument and complete this assignment, you will rely upon
visual rhetoric or a multimodal composition. Chapters 14 and 16 will help you uncover the
features of effective visual argument and inform how you might create your own advocacy
text. We can convey rhetorical appeals and strong emotions in our visual rhetoric just as
powerfully as we can in traditional prose. As you craft your CRR response this week,
consider the power of visual argument and how multimodal composition might offer more
or less communication tools than traditional forms of prose. In what ways does new media
and online mediums of visual rhetoric transform our communication tools and audience
reach? InstructionsAfter Reading the assigned texts, your response should be approached in
one of the following ways:Reading with/Reading Against: Read with each text, summarizing
the key ideas. Then, “talk back” to the ideas, locating potential gaps or how these ideas
might be reconsidered or implemented in various settings.Impact on your own writing:
Think of what impact the ideas or concepts in a particular article/chapter/es.say may have
on the teaching of writing or on writing more generally–in and out of your discipline.
Explain as clearly as possible how this impact might occur. You might also talk about the
problems and/or possibilities this concept or idea creates for the
teacher/student/practitioner. You should reflect, at least a little, on how your own
experience(s) in classrooms and courses rub against the concept(s) or idea(s) to which you
are responding.Synthesis: Looking at the texts you read for the week, attempt to synthesize
a concept or idea that you noticed moving through the texts. Your goal should be to
highlight the idea or concept as the writers understand it and then explain how you see
these concepts connecting or disconnecting in a productive way. You might also use these
syntheses in future projects.You may want to include key definitions and terms to help you
on future projects. Every discussion post must include a question you want the class to
address that goes beyond reading comprehension (i.e. we want conversations started not
merely yes/no or shallow questions). The expectation is that you engage deeply with the
assigned readings and draw explicit connections between your CRR and the readings.
