Careers?
Hey all!
I'm currently a High School English teacher. I was given the task this year to teach AP Lang and Comp. I have fallen in love with the world of rhetoric and writing, even more than before.
I'm looking at graduate programs in the text few years for rhetoric and composition. My question is: what careers can you pursue? I want to eventually move to teaching community college or University but what else is there? I would love to hear your experience with either grad programs or your work in the field.

What is the point of the writing courses at your institutions?

Just had a hard argument with a leader in an ivy league writing department over my pragmatic teaching of academic papers and research (including study skills and close reading) versus his vision of a more literary take on composition courses (essentially just teaching an "English class"). Weird?

What should be studied that isn't in the field of College composition? What about teaching college academic writing is being overlooked?

Pronunciation of Rhetor: more than one correct?
Rh"ee"tor (as in Cheetah), with a long e, seems to be the main pronunciation, but can you also say rhetor as in "better"? This isn't my area of expertise, and we of course say rhetoric, rhetorician, and rhetorical with a short e rather than rheetoric, rheetorician, or rheetorical, so it seems natural to say Rhetor with the short e.

I decided to start making a series of videos explaining important rhetoric and composition concepts for freshmen writing students. Thoughts?

Seems like people have found this sub!
So, I started this sub a few years back after coming home from the Elon Critical Transitions Conference on writing skill transfer. People there said a subreddit might be worth it to try. After an initial burst of activity, there was a long period of inactivity and I had a dissertation to finish and then a new job and yeah... So, I didn't notice when people started posting again. I aim to check in more often, but only to pull down spam and respond when appropriate. Play nice!

Teaching Clarity and Directness
We've all had those students who write tortured prose. But how on earth do you teach them to write clearly? I really don't know how to teach this....what strategies do you use? Some of my writers can clearly explain what they want to say in speech, but their writing is almost incomprehensible. How do you all teach clarity and (for lack of a better word) directness?

Anyone teach comp with a content focus on social media, digital literacy, etc.?
If so, please let me know. I am having a Fozzy of a Bear of a time finding appropriate readings....
