• Computer Read Aloud: The computer will read the paper exactly as it’s written, helping writers examine their writing more closely. Adobe Acrobat (installed in some labs) has this capability, but students also can download a free program like CutePDF Writer. In Adobe Acrobat, choose “View” from the top menu bar and select “Read Out Loud.”

• Rhetorics as Resources: Writing: A Manual for the Digital Age (Chapters 5, 6)
