This chapter teaches students how to take rhetorical moves they make on social media and mimic these moves in academic writing, such as riffing off successful example texts, gearing content to specific audiences, choosing how to shape one\u2019s ethos, and making stylistic choices that enhance the message of a piece of writing. By reading this essay, students will better understand the choices they make in composing text and images for social media and how those same choices can be applied to make their academic writing strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternate Downloads:&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also download this chapter from Parlor Press or WAC Clearinghouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Writing Spaces is published in partnership with&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.parlorpress.com\/\">Parlor Press<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/wac.colostate.edu\/\">WAC Clearinghouse<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ann N.
