  1. Reframing the rhetorical situation Social Networking in the Composition Classroom

  2. Good news! Our students are already writers.

  3. Bad News There is an ever-widening gap between the writing students do in school and the writing they do outside of school.

  4. One Possible Solution: Writing outside of school Writing in school I argue that one way we can achieve this goal is by meaningfully and efficiently using social networking sites in teaching writing. Social Networking in the Composition Classroom

  5. Why social networking? • It helps students see all of their writing as connected. • It creates a more well-defined rhetorical situation. • Audience • Purpose • Dialogue

  6. The limitations of Social Networking • Social networks are primarily useful as a means of invention. • Proper planning is necessary. • Standard English isn’t so standard on social networks. • Access is an issue. • 94% of teens use the Internet or E-mail. • 86% of families whose income is less than $30k a year have Internet access.
