You began brainstorming towards your poster project in your last blog post that is due today. We will continue this work in class, beginning with Cushman’s article “The Rhetorician as Agent of Social Change.” We’ll look at pages 13 and 12, in that order, in Cushman’s text to begin thinking about how we, as rhetors of the Poster Project, can be agents of social change.

After reading together, take a few minutes to answer the following questions:

• Describe your community. Who are the members? What unites them? (Avoid sweeping generalities, like “all people,” or huge groups, like “institutions.”)
• What large-scale change do you want to see? What are the smaller parts of the big change? What are one or two specific needs that your poster can address?

HOMEWORK
