Academic writing has often been very stiff and usually only involves few mediums (pen, paper, black text on a white background). Not until the last twenty years has academic writing been digital, but what's to say that academic writing has to be boring? Why can't it be multimodal and involve images, videos, audio, etc.?

franchise economics- Coldstone Creamery

Animal Crossing- "long term debt"

procedural mode- addresses processes, claims, or ideas through processes rather than through visual, writing, or orality.

Does writing convince an audience of a message the same way as an oral presentation can?

Aristotle's rhetoric- persuasion towards correct judgments.

Sophists- "personal trainers for rhetoric."

Rhetoric has a bad reputation with lying politicians or other public speakers.

Rhetoric is every choice a writer makes to convey a work's meaning.

LetsPlay channels allow the viewer an extensive, inside glimpse into a video game, with added commentary from the channel's gamer, allowing them to "play" allow with the gamer they are viewing.

Live (video) gaming streaming.

Mobility and convenience.

Further arguing that television that once was an event, still remains an event that has the luxury of being played at the comfort of your own home.

Online streaming anywhere and anytime.

Basic online streaming service.

Little to no audience participation. Possible exception of news stations asking for audience feedback ("Send us your pictures of the storm," "Tweet us," etc.).

Broadcast television is a binary structure.

Theory that a person's behavior both influences and is influenced by personal factors and the social environment.

The severance of social, political, or cultural practices from their native places and populations.

Theory that allows for multiple, non-hierarchical entry and exit points in data representation and interpretation.

Social aspects remain unchanged and stable.

Television used to be an event. Everyone in the household would gather around the television at a certain time and a certain day and all watch a program together. With new ways to access television shows, this togetherness has dissolved; the audience no longer adapts their time in order to watch a show, but a show adapts to fit around the viewer's schedule.

This time period helped set the foundations for television. Rizzo is arguing that, in the long run, this time period will only be considered a brief period rather than a vital time.

Television has the power to inform, persuade, challenge, entertain, and much more to a mass audience.

On-demand, online streaming, etc.

Collection or gathering of people or things.

Mediaeval name for the rule of inference which allows that from a contradiction you may deduce anything whatsoever.

Zeroes and ones are numerical in a binary sense, but represent symbols that represent switches that lead to an overall meaning.

There is one media, but rather, one medium: everything online is data and is made up of a code or type of coding language. It's definitely an interesting point that I haven't previously considered before.

Speaking of a general truth in a memorable way ("If it ain't broke, don't fix it.").

Weakened memory.

The idea that humans possess knowledge from past incarnations and that learning consists of rediscovering that knowledge within us. (live and learn?)

Very interesting.

One must be able to communicate to be considered a being and to exist.

This raises the question of what it means to be. Can a computer "be" and exist without human interaction? Does a computer need a human to input or output information?

HTML, CSS, and other coding languages.

Lack of embodiment in a digital sphere?

It is both interesting and a little scary to think that anyone can post online and that anyone can also access anything that anyone has posted as well. I think that this can really change the way we produce texts, but can also cause problems.

Alex, your paper is an overall strong and great first effort. You provided the audience with many different examples of class, assignments, and professors who helped better your understanding of the concentration. Aside from a few mechanical and grammatical errors, I would just suggest adding in a little bit more information that could help strengthen the paper. Overall, it's a great effort and will be a great addition to your senior portfolio.

Cool! This is a great aspiration for your future goals and how the concentration will enable you to achieve this.

Excellent example.

Excellent.

Great example of your development in the concentration.

Explain this a little more? Maybe use "petty" instead?

Very interesting definition.

Italicize.

Great example of a class and professor that helped shape your understanding of the concentration.

Karina, I think your CRE is a great, strong first draft. You provide the audience with plenty of great examples as well as the texts, classes, and professors who helped your understanding and growth in the Rhetoric and Composition concentration. Expand it just a little bit further, and I believe that it will make for a solid critical reflective essay to be added to your senior portfolio.

Maybe just refer to the concentration from its "official" name (Rhetoric and Composition) rather than Rhet and Comp for the sake of sounding more professional.

Great example of "learn, grow, and repeat."

Strong definition of critical thinking; excellent.

Great reference to a work and quote that shaped the definition of rhetoric for me. This is a great example.

Omit?

A way to use social media to educate students about change and tragedy.

How do you tell your students about what is happening? This has every thing to do with rhetoric and how it can be used.

The now iconic photo of Michael Brown in graduation cap and gown.

Backing away from the real issues due to backlash.

The reader knows all about the quarterback. But what about Mary? Do we know her?

In all three stories, the disabled person's story has taken the backseat to someone who aided the person in a way, making them the "true hero."

I've seen this over and over again. "This is a disabled person who has achieved something great while overcoming obstacles. You're not disabled, you have no excuse."

Perry is claiming that disabled people are being objectified for the benefit of people who are not. The same can be said of many other groups throughout history.

This quotation simplifies the centuries-long battle for the female voice in public settings, both online and offline.

Thirteen hours of standing and speaking without pausing, fighting for the silenced and the voiceless. My personal hero.

Dating back to ancient Greek times, with the only exception of Aspasia.

Further enabling the patriarchal ideal of rhetoric in public discourse.

History of female rhetoric.

"Don't speak unless spoken to."

Sophists- Greek rhetoricians who were skeptical

Rhetoric is an art that has the power to open the mind.

The charioteer- the divine madness.

Socrates argues that style is more important than content.

Is repetition the best way to get a point across? Or can it be considered too repetitive and too much?

Love conquers all?

Question everything and be cautious. Ask questions and challenge ideals.

Does this indicate the idea of "platonic love"?

1,200-1,500 words translates to about five to seven pages, Times New Roman, 12 point font.

Focus more on your experience and growth in the composition and rhetoric concentration than on the artifacts themselves.
