658 Week 3 - Blog 1

This is my second attempt using Woodworth’s Rhetorical Precis... her invention is definitely a handy tool.


Craig Stoupe, in Visualizing English: Recognizing the Hybrid Literacy of Visual and Verbal Authorship (2000), asserts that composition will flourish from incorporating technology rather than being debilitated by it. Baker supports his thesis by offering contrasting examples of visual rhetoric and print that show the two modes can co-exist and prosper when used together. His intent is to persuade compositionists that to embrace digital technology and not fear it will enhance all composition pursuits. He creates a connection with his audience of graduate students and scholars who are interested in understanding the uses, positivity, and negativity of adding visual rhetoric into the composition classrooms.
