Purpose of Blog
Greetings!
This public blog will consist of recent news stories that may serve as sources of invention, evidence, and argumentation for our rhetoric and composition course. These posts will enrich our classroom experience because the articles available here will enable us to extend conversations from class discussion, as well as engage with material we feel affects our lives in some way. What is notable about the types of posts that will be available here is that I will sometimes post stories from various news sources about the same event so that we can attempt to account for the differences/gaps in reporting. Throughout the semester we will frequently have virtual and offline discussions about current events.
The information available on this blog may:

The information available on this blog may:
- give you ideas for paper topics
- enable you to determine the types of relationships exist between individuals and their virtual/local/state/national/global communities
- compel you to assess how these relationships could be improved
- support arguments you are presenting in your drafts
- be read critically so that you can acquire additional writing strategies regarding structure/organization, word choice, sentence variety, and depth and logical consistency of information.
