Williams, Sean D. "Part 2: Toward and Integrated Composition Pedagogy in Hypertext." Computers in the Composition Classroom. Eds. Michelle Sidler, Richard Morris, and Elixabeth Overman Smith. Boston: Bedford / St. Martin’s, 2008: 469-481. Print.
Again, this reading comes at a time when I'm grappling with the concept of "literacy" in all its complexity. I'm not sure that I agree with defining these literacies that we have as simple skill sets. I do like that Williams addressed the issue of visual rhetoric and literacy in this article. Visual rhetoric as it's presented in FYC textbooks is a topic that I'm looking at in that same project for another class. I do agree that there needs to be an inclusive yet expansive way to approach composition. I've always thought that the medium used alters the message and so how it's presented (or delivered) will make a big impact on the message itself. Something else that I've found interesting is this idea of rhetorical velocity that's presented by Ridolfo and DeVoss in Kairos.
