this i believe podcast
|
I chose to post my “This I Believe” podcast because it reflects my strengths as speaker, something I worked and developed on during my year of Rhetoric and Civic Life class. This was also the first project of the new semester to lead into the persuasion side of rhetoric. My tone is engaging and has a varying quality, which is good rhetorically so an audience member does not get too bored. What also is effective is my use of common, non-academic language and my pacing. In this way the reader does not get put off my by vocabulary, but is still engaged due to the quicker pace of my speaking.

advocacy project
For my advocacy project, I made two quizzes on the site playbuzz.com to highlight the resources that Penn State students, specifically underclassmen, might not know about. I wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the online quiz medium to share some useful information, so I styled my quizzes to be like a BuzzFeed post with bright graphics and fun answer choices.
