Academic writing has generally been understood as operating primarily within the linguistic modality, with writing remediating the "voice" of an educator or lecturer.
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.?

LetsPlay channels put into question the idea of television as a stable medium, and invite us to rethink what television is and what it can be.
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.

LetsPlay
Live (video) gaming streaming.
-
Viewers are therefore no longer bound to the television set to watch live television.
Mobility and convenience.
-
However, unlike mobile phones and tablets which promote mobility, I would argue that these home based technologies attempt to maintain the television set as the privileged site for viewing and the home as a central location.
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.
-
Go and apps like it offer new lines of connections that potentially reformulate television culture by deterritorialising appointment, mass and home viewing.
Online streaming anywhere and anytime.
-
Foxtel Go is one of a number of television applications (or ‘apps’) that enable viewers to watch television on different devices.
Basic online streaming service.
-
broadcast television offers viewers very few opportunities to actively participate in the media texts that they are directed to consume
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 highly organised structure that revolves around a centre of significance, tends toward homogeneity and produces images and representations for viewers to consume.
Broadcast television is a binary structure.

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

television once had a stable identity that is now being called into question
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.

1950 and 1980
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.
-
[p]art of the ‘power of television

The age of media is over, for there is now only one medium
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.

Digital ontology is the event of the end of media
Very interesting.
-
One must be able to communicate to be considered a being and to exist.
-
full-blown metaphysics of ‘being
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?
-
web 2.0 practices
HTML, CSS, and other coding languages.
-
displacing ‘the human’ from the centre of action
Lack of embodiment in a digital sphere?
-
ever-growing excess of data
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.
-
my plans are to teach English as a foreign language in another country as a way to travel
Cool! This is a great aspiration for your future goals and how the concentration will enable you to achieve this.
-
In this piece, I take the passion for literacy studies I grew in Composition: History, Theory, and Practice, and married it with my love for video games.
Excellent example.
-
Through these practices, I have come to recognize critical thinking as not only the ability to look at how a text makes its argument, but how to harness this assessment to be beneficial to one’s own rhetorical practice.
Excellent.
-
While I do not credit this paper as the most sophisticated, eloquent, or well argued included in my portfolio
Great example of your development in the concentration.
-
Explain this a little more? Maybe use "petty" instead?
-
I refined my personal definition of rhetoric: the manipulation of symbols to communicate information in a way that is concious of a piece’s audience, their perception of the author, and the form to which the information is bound.
Very interesting definition.

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.

He’s the hero. We learn nothing about Lapkowicz.
The reader knows all about the quarterback. But what about Mary? Do we know her?
-
A high school quarterback in Pennsylvania took a girl with Down syndrome to prom, fulfilling a promise he made to her when they were in the fourth grade. A Qdoba employee in Kentucky was filmed feeding a customer with physical disabilities. Madeline Stuart, an Australian woman with Down syndrome, lost weight and became a model.
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."
-
inspiration porn sometimes shames the viewer by showing a disabled person overcoming basic obstacles, implying that anyone less disabled has no excuse.
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."
-
objectify one group of people for the benefit of another group of people
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.

women have been relegated to the background of public speech or silenced altogether by a patriarchal structure of discourse.
Dating back to ancient Greek times, with the only exception of Aspasia.

Ellen Pao (an American woman of Chinese descent), experienced a large volume of harassment after banning and censoring the forum’s most hate speech-focused subreddits, eventually stepping down from her position
Further enabling the patriarchal ideal of rhetoric in public discourse.

“for the past twenty-five hundred years in Western culture, the ideal woman has been disciplined by cultural codes that require a closed mouth (silence), a closed body (chastity), and an enclosed life (domestic confinement)”
History of female rhetoric.
-
The “closed mouth” and “closed body” dichotomies that Glenn brings to light are of great importance when women speak or write in public, because it is the body that is harassed or attacked when women resist the cultural expectations of silent or docile speakers.
"Don't speak unless spoken to."

Why, because medicine has to define the nature of the body and rhetoric of the soul-if we would proceed, not empirically but scientifically, in the one case to impart health and strength by giving medicine and food in the other to implant the conviction or virtue which you desire, by the right application of words and training.
Rhetoric is a scientific need to explain and argue points, rather than on an emotionally level.

repetition was the especial merit of the speech; for he omitted no topic of which the subject rightly allowed, and I do not think that any one could have spoken better or more exhaustively.
Is repetition the best way to get a point across? Or can it be considered too repetitive and too much?
