Welcome to the blog for my spring 2006 Advanced Composition class. We will use this blog as a space to reflect on our class readings, brainstorm ideas for papers, respond to each other's work, and to consider how writing for a public audience poses different challenges than those posed by writing solely for a college course.
As you can see, this blog is a continuation of the work students did in my fall 2005 course. In a sense, these posts form part of the "conversation" you will be taking part in this semester. In order to get acquainted with using our blog, I want you to introduce yourself to your fellow classmates (and the on-line world!).
Post a brief response to the first chapter of Ramage's, Rhetoric: A User's Guide. I am not asking you to post a summary of the chapter, I am more interested in what you thought of what Ramage said about rhetoric and how he is presenting the material. The benefit of a blog is that you have an opportunity to “write through” your response; that is, you can post your thoughts informally and dialogue with your classmates. You can also post questions for your classmates, make connections to other things you have read, or simply “try out” your ideas.
