FB

I agree that FB can be used in rhetorical analysis.  This becomes apparent especially when there's something happening like the Chris Dorner case-- my newsfeed exploded with everyone voicing their opinion of what was happening, some more infuriating than others.  You can see people sing ethos, pathos, and logos while they try to convince everyone on their friends list why their interpretation of the event was the correct interpretation.  There is also a clear example of how many different perspectives could come out of one single event.  Though some presented perspectives had me block certain "friends" immediately, it was still an example of how people use writing in order to accomplish an agenda.

I think it would definitely be helpful to meet students at a place where they are already visiting because it's something that they find interesting already and it does really show examples of rhetoric.
