1. I have drafted 3 sec­tions of my web­text. I cre­ated a brief intro­duc­tion to soci­ol­ogy describ­ing a def­i­n­i­tion and short exam­ples of what it would encom­pass. I touched on the pur­pose of soci­ol­ogy gen­er­ally in this short paragraph.

   My other three sec­tions are clus­ters of the themes we have been talk­ing about such as infor­ma­tion, exper­tise and dis­course. Those are my three main sec­tion themes with other ones as sup­port such as research and fact feed­ing into the makeup of infor­ma­tion. This lay­out makes sense to me as I have one pic­ture for each area of either the source from my anno­tated bib­li­og­ra­phy or other help­ful images of research.

   I would love to see a few exam­ples as I still am unsure on who the audi­ence of this web­text is because I am using hyper­links for cer­tain lan­guage but still am “dumb­ing down” the topic some so it isn’t aimed at purely pro­fes­sion­als in the field.

   1. I like the fact you are start­ing out with an intro­duc­tion of what soci­ol­ogy is and its pur­pose. Hav­ing knowl­edge pro­vided before hand on what soci­ol­ogy really is will help your audi­ence focus and bet­ter relate to your rhetor­i­cal sections.

2. I am work­ing on my draft for the web text, I have three sec­tions that include evidence/proof, research, and infor­ma­tion. I am try­ing to tie together research and evi­dence for one sec­tion so I can include knowl­edge in another. I took some screen shots of a cou­ple arti­cles that show in detail some research evi­dence that shows what dif­fer­ent soci­ol­ogy research is and how the stats vary depend­ing on the research type.
   I am strug­gling with fig­ur­ing out who to use as a fig­ure that rep­re­sents my field (soci­ol­ogy). I also need help with what images would be good to use, it’s such a broad topic I don’t know if any­thing would work or just related to my articles.

   1. Hey Abby, well it seems like you are off to a great start. I found this youtube video on knowl­edge and it might help you really fig­ure out what con­sists of knowl­edge for Soci­ol­ogy. https://​www​.youtube​.com/​w​a​t​c​h​?​v​=​h​9​C​L​S​z​R​S​d0s Hope­fully helps a lit­tle its only 2 minutes!

3. For my web­text drafts, I have decided to take apart each of my sources in terms of cat­e­gory (infor­ma­tion, knowl­edge, exper­tise, etc.) I will scan each piece for exam­ples of var­i­ous rhetor­i­cal con­cepts and rep­re­sen­ta­tions of the infor­ma­tion par­a­digm in my dis­ci­pline. After I have writ­ten a bit on each of these find­ings, I will sort them into my pages. I believe I can­not full out­line my sec­tions just yet because I not sure, as of now, what con­cepts blend well together or bal­ance well with each other. Once I dis­cover the mag­ni­tude of infor­ma­tion I have for each con­cept and the ways they work together, I will be able to make deci­sions regard­ing my sections.
   I am not par­tic­u­larly ner­vous about the audi­ence to which I am address­ing, it only means I will have more space to explain the rhetoric rather than the field!

4. My Web­text is a three-part process. Begin­ning my Web­text will be an intro­duc­tion to cor­po­rate law of what it entails and the edu­ca­tion that is needed to prac­tice this type of law. The fol­low­ing three sec­tions will include infor­ma­tion, research, and exper­tise. I will include copies of actual online and/or print arti­cles to show the research found and maybe, screen shots with direc­tion to show how it was found. 

   I’m not sure on who my audi­ence should be, so I am strug­gling on the type of word­ing to use. Also, I am still contemplating/ unsure on how to lay­out and orga­nize the information.
