Rhetoric and Beyond: Expanding Our Views on Writing in RTTP Courses** Toby F. Coley, PhD Assistant Professor of English, University of Mary Hardin-Baylor; Deborah Maltby, Associate Teaching Professor of English, University of Missouri-St. Louis RTTP faculty actively discuss and share problems, ideas, and strategy through a dynamic private Facebook Faculty Lounge. Trolling the past six months of FB questions and comments reveals that many participants value good writing and welcome ideas for helping students write better in RTTP. One basic tool for helping students write better is an understanding of rhetoric and rhetorical moves. In this roundtable session, we'll begin with how utilizing principles of ancient rhetoric in the Athens game helps composition students with both the game and the writing. We'll explore how these principles can be used in teaching writing in all RTTP games. With that foundation, we'll build on the knowledge and experience of other RTTP faculty who value good writing in RTTP, asking participants to weigh in on what has worked for them, what they have changed, and what they still haven't resolved.
