Journal 6


Throughout the duration of this course we have learned about many different concepts. If I had to chose five of the most important I would chose: exigence, circulation, mobility, revision and collaboration. All five of these concepts played a major role in this course.
Exigence is something that we have discussed numerous times throughout the semester and is one of the main components of rhetoric. We have had to pick an issue and reflect how different forms of media can affect certain texts.
Circulation has also played a part in this course. We have learned how a text can get across to different people. Circulating through the internet and social media such as facebook or through placing stickers around campus we have learned different ways to get our message across.
Mobility has also changed the way texts and writing are spread. With technology constantly evolving, products are becoming more mobile and people are able to take their work with them anywhere they go. This is key to expanding their thoughts and work.
Revision is something we constantly did in this class and is of importance. With out turning in drafts we wouldn’t have been able to properly conduct assignments and it also allows for peer review and growth which I believe is important.
Lastly, almost every class we have done some sort of group work, which is why I believe collaboration is an important concept of this class. Collaborating with other writers is something that is becoming more and more common especially with technology like Google docs were multiple people are allowed to make changes to a document. This allows for more interaction and mobility.
All five of these concepts played a huge role in the development of this course and writing in all forms.
