Presenting “Rhetorical Situation: Podcasts in the First-Year Writing Classroom”
Recommended Podcasts
Four student podcasts:
“Plague Inc.” from The Longest Rainy Sunday, Fall 2020
“Public Health Graduate Program Admissions Amidst COVID” from Voices Through the Mask, Fall 2021
“Grand Theft Auto 5 and Transit” from Read | Write | Play.
“Do I scare you? Doki Doki Literature Club” from Ready, Set, Game, Spring 2020
These are four student podcasts, each produced by 2-3 students as part of weekly podcasts for my classes. The students were generally much more engaged in thinking about their own rhetorical situations, in particular to think about audiences, than with more traditional essay assignments.
