PWR 1 courses focus on developing writing and revision strategies for rhetorical analysis and research-based arguments that draw on multiple sources. In this class we will analyze the rhetoric of multi-modal work to see how content providers are mixing print, visual, and audio to tell more engaging stories. We will consider how writers' multi-modal choices in digital genres impact the stories they tell, the thinking on their subject matter, and the audiences they intend. For course video and full description, see https://pwrcourses.stanford.edu/pwr1/pwr1kda For PWR 1 course catalog see https://pwrcourses.stanford.edu/pwr-1. Enrollment is handled by the PWR office.
