Today we will be reading and analyzing the ideas and rhetorical devices used in the article “How the nation’s growing racial diversity is changing our schools” written by Kate Rabinowitz, Armand Emamdjomeh, and Laura Meckler. We will dive into the article and how it was based around the idea of the integration-diversity ratio within school systems of America and how these distributions have changed. Not only will we see what interesting points the authors make, but also we will take a look into the multiple uses of rhetorical devices deployed by the authors which have a major impact on how the article persuades the reader. I will go into what statistics are most shocking as well as how they are shown which is extremely interesting. I will also explain how this article is unlike most in the way it was written as well as the odd use of interactive maps to see if our own school is segregated! Is what they explain right? Will they make overwhelming discoveries in which you won’t believe? The only way to know is to check out the podcast and find out if American school systems are segregated. Form your own opinion alongside me to agree or disagree with the content.
