Reading and Annotating<\/strong><\/em>
As you are reading, highlight and take note of both the different way Grant-Davie is referring to \u201csituation\u201d and the way he is thinking of \u201cconstituents. <\/p>\n

This article begins with a \u201cliterature review\u201d of sorts. Literature reviews are common practice in research articles\u2014you will most likely have to write some form of one when\/if you do your research. In a literature review, the author situates the ideas they are talking about within the relevant, body of research that has already been done on the same or similar topics. It\u2019s a way of letting the reader know how the author (Grant-Davie in this example) is adding to the conversation that is\/has already taken place on the topic. Note: This is an excellent strategy to use when writing your essay for the portfolio\u2014beginning by situating your reader in the research present within the texts in order to discuss your idea\/question and how it adds to that conversation. <\/p>\n

As you read and annotate, it might be helpful to create a small graphic chart that illustrates the progression of the phrase \u201crhetorical situation\u201d from Bitzer to Vatz, to Consigny, to our very own Grant-Davie. You might want to do another small graphic for the term \u201cconstituents\u201d showing the difference between how Bitzer saw them and how Grant-Davie saw them. This is just a suggestion, but I guarantee it would help you have more ideas to work with during your first essay. <\/p>\n

Writing to be Submitted<\/strong><\/em>
After reading the first half of the text, when you think of the rhetorical situation for your portfolio, what are the \u201cconstituents of situation\u201d (p. 265)? Define and describe the exigence and the audience for this work. <\/p>\n

As you do this, I want you to write in response to the questions Grant-Davie asks for exigence (pp. 267-268). Then, go on to consider how your role as rhetor is involved in the creation of the rhetorical situation as Grant-Davie suggests (pp. 269-270). <\/p>\n

Finally, conclude by considering the concept of \u201cuniversal audience\u201d (p. 271) in contrast to Gries\u2019 (2019) concept of \u201crhetorical velocity\u201d (p. 339). What is the difference between these two concepts? Which seems to be more useful to you and why? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
