Creative Rhetoric Scenario

The Creative Rhetoric Scenario (CRS) is an assignment designed to help:

reveal the naturalized rhetoric of dialect in personal relationships, and

- the features of their dialect (register), and
- how they function

Dialog: An Example Performance of a "Personal" Discourse Community (PDC) Moving from Norm Topics to Integrate Rhetoric

Sets scene and situation
Presents the dialog
