Welcome to LMAO! Here we will post and share our responses to the weekly packets we'll be viewing and reading. Feel free to write anything you like, so long as it is on topic, but do endeavor to connect the packets to the readings for the week and the rhetorical concepts we've studied to date. Also, read your classmates' posts and respond to them; you never know what ideas you may get from each other that will make or improve your papers. Feel free to add photos like this






which is a still from Dr. Strangelove, one of our films, or videos like this



which is a clip from the 1970s television show All in the Family, and is an excellent example of rhetorical comedy, focusing in this case on racism, a new topic for early 70s television. These things can really liven up a post. Links to other web pages can also help you drive home a point with less writing - one of the advantages of web writing!

The point here is to explore your and others' ideas while having some fun. Use it well and I guarantee it will help you write better papers.
