Expanding the Aims of Public Rhetoric and Writing Pedagogy: Writing Letters to Editors

Brian Gogan

Abstract

This article outlines a three-part pedagogy capable of responding to the risks, rewards, and headaches associated with public rhetoric and writing. To demonstrate the purchase of this pedagogy, I revisit one of the oldest and most misunderstood public rhetoric and writing assignments: the letter-to-the-editor assignment.
