Topic Section D: The Teaching of Rhetoric In this course, we will investigate writing pedagogy theory and praxis focused on first-year composition.

In particular, we will theorize, through readings in history and theory of composition studies, practices relating to topics such as: incorporating rhetorical theory and strategies, maintaining language diversities in the classroom, integrating digital literacies and teaching with technology, responding to and evaluating student work, and developing teaching personae. The required work for this course includes weekly readings, reading responses, active participation in class discussion, a statement of teaching philosophy, and a writing pedagogy essay.
