Writing I've done this week: tweeting, texting, collaborative blog post, instagram, and emailing professors
Texting my friends: When writing to friends, especially in a group chat with more than one friend, there are no set restriction to what can/cannot be said and everything is written in a very casual manner. My purpose for texting my friends was to plan our outfits for our school's football game on Friday, us wanting to be very spirited a lot of suggestions were made jokingly and some seriously which just shows in this rhetorical situation there is no set genre and the theme or topic at which you're talking about can be changed a number of times throughout the writing.
Tweeting: I keep my twitter on private which means I get to choose my audience and allow certain people to see what I am tweeting about. Being a social media site that only my friends see formality is not necessary and like texting most things are written in a very casual manner. Unlike texting what you say goes to a broader amount of people therefore paying attention to who follows you (your audience) is a little more important to insure no one is offended.
Collaborative blog post: The purpose of the blog post was to collaborate with others in the class to bring together our similar and different ideas/thoughts on a subject we were assigned.
For this assignment we had little to no creative control for the topic was assigned and our medium in which we had to share it, on our blogs where our fellow classmates and instructor would see it. In this rhetorical situation formality was important because of the audience who was viewing it and instructor who would be grading it.
