Study Questions:
1. In order to think about rhetoric, we have to think about genre.
Take a moment to click on both links before proceeding. Rosen's essay
was composed specifically for the ideal student reader of The Social Media Reader. Vaidhyanathan's essay appeared in a scholarly periodical. How does this
difference in kairos and genre affect how each author addresses
his audience?
2. The reading for today from They Say/I Say instructs you how to
read for "the conversation." What are the previous conversations that
each author is responding to in their essays?
