WEST Workshop 10/3: Rhetorical Situations
The rules for writing aren’t always the same. What works in a Freshman Composition paper doesn’t work in a lab report, and your strategies for writing a Spanish essay won’t apply with a med school statement. All of this varies based on what we call the “rhetorical situation.” Want help understanding this issue? WEST, the Writing Excellence Studio at Tech, has got you covered! On Thursday, 10/3, we will be leading a dead hour workshop on understanding rhetorical situations. We can talk about ways to assess different situations and how to figure out the “rules” for any piece of writing. The workshop will be in Henderson Hall 304B, from 11:00-11:50. No registration is required. And if you can’t make the workshop, come for a one-on-one session with one of our consultants. For availability and scheduling, check out our website. We look forward to working with you!
