1. Explain how Munroe employs word choice and parallelism as rhetorical strategies in this webcomic.
2. In one paragraph to two paragraphs reflect on why the webcomic as a genre is well suited to a discussion of the issues Munroe is raising.
3. Would you answer each of the questions Munroe asks in the same way as he does? In a brief essay, please explain why or why not you agree or disagree with each of his “Simple Answers,” making sure to include your rationale for your response to each.
4. Using Munroe’s webcomic as a model, create your own list of “Simple Answers to the Questions That Get Asked of Every New Technology.”
You can list this WJ as WJEC: “Simple Answers” and hand it in at the end of the semester with the rest of your writing journals.
