Professor Leontis incorporated a blog into her first year writing seminar on graffiti or street art so her students could experience the composition process in a variety of modalities.
Classical Studies Professor and Current Chair
Professor Artemis Leontis added a blogging assignment to her course Classical Studies 121, "Writing on the Wall," as a way to give students an opportunity to curate material objects, both in physical as well as online environments, and make rhetorical decisions, and compose in a variety of modalities.
Initial assignments included creating proper online citations, analyzing one’s path of inquiry, writing as performance, and developing a relationship with the audience. The final project of the term involved digitally curating a collection of five to ten graffiti pieces with a theme and embedding them in a text that explained the student’s methods and choices in the composition process.
