Your main webpage on your collaborative website is going to highlight your digital justice focus, the assignment that was introduced to you at the beginning of the semester. Some of you may have already even presented your topic. Now you are going to write about that issue via a series of digital essays that will go on your website.
You must introduce this topic on your website in a way that will make people want to care about it. You must establish your own ethos as a rhetor; in other words, you need to show that you can and should be taken seriously and trusted.
You must also offer serious rhetorical analyses of your digital artifacts (imagine and TRUST that the creators will visit your site!) You do not need to explicitly use the terminology of rhetorical theory, but you need to dig deeper into EXACTLY how these activists and inventors establish an audience and who that audience is. It is NOT acceptable to argue that ANY address is universal and appeals to everyone. That’s just not ever true. Think on it and figure out the unique context.
You can template your main webpage any way that you like. Your first subpage was designed for you in order for you to get comfortable with the weebly platform. Now you are on your own so take these wings and flyyyyy!
