EXERCISE 5.4: THINKING VISUALLY

Look at the three “Rhetorical Situations” illustrations and analyze the way the visuals are related. Then consider your own writing process for an assignment you are currently working on. What specific decisions have you made about your topic, purpose and stance, and intended audience for the project? Sketch an image that suggests how your topic, stance, and audience will fit together. Will your decisions about this rhetorical situation help you create a unified piece of writing that accomplishes your goals?
