In a modification of the “Podcast Around the Bay” project described in a previous post, I asked students in my Introduction to Writing and Digital Publication course to document places and in so doing connect these places to arguments by either focusing on the rhetoricity of the place itself or by using the place as evidence to support a larger claim. The students used Apple’s Garage Band software to create podguides, or tour guides in the form of enhanced podcasts, on places of rhetorical interest. For the purpose of this project, a place was defined in the Instructions and Rubric as somewhere that is publicly accessible and can be toured in 15-30 minutes. The podguides can be downloaded from WordPress websites that also contain transcripts of the tours. Below are links to a selection of these websites:
