Workshop C: Theme, Tool, Text: The Visual in the College Writing Class – RM 120

Karla Kitalong, University of Central Florida


The idea would be that one can completely transform the class with a visual theme, where all the work revolves around visual communication, or one can be more tentative/deliberate and work in a few assignments. These assignments can be as conservative or as edgy as the teacher feels comfortable. It doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing enterprise, and you don't need to be an expert.


Some of the tools would be connotation/denotation, ethos/pathos/logos, information hierarchy (what's important/less so), and other familiar concepts that can easily be applied given a basic rhetorical background.
