Writing & Rhetoric 2: Once Upon a Cause: The Rhetoric of Picture Books

Catalog description

PWR 2 courses focus on developing strategies for presenting research-based arguments in both written and oral/multimedia genres. This course asks why did we want to hear and see and read our favorite picture books again and again? What was the secret to their magic? In this course you'll not only analyze that "magic" and do research on this topic, but will also collaborate closely with a group of classmates to create an original, compelling, and educationally appropriate picture book for second-graders.
