A couple of you wanted more clarification in terms of what counts as "good" RCL posts, so I thought I'd highlight some from other students (in different sections).
Rayna blogged about JFK's inaugural address, Patrick blogged about how a Nike ad echoes his struggle with motivation, and Kate blogged about delivery styles observed at a local poetry reading.
All three posts were, first and foremost, engaging. They were focused, had a clear point to make (whether stated at the outset or the conclusion), and were just plain interesting. They all tackled an instance rhetoric as it was experienced, and they engaged in analysis in addition to mere observation. Finally, they embedded visuals (they didn't just link them), and they adopted a narrative style to convey their analysis. (While not always appropriate, these last two take advantage of the best features of the blogging medium.)
