Lindsay Sabotka and Cassie Hemstrom Partner with Yolo County Animal Services Shelter

Lindsay Sabotka and Cassie Hemstrom have partnered with the local Yolo County Animal Services Shelter to create service learning opportunities for their 104A business writing students. Shelter representatives have visited their classes and discussed the different rhetorical situations the shelter encounters in social media and promotional writing, and their students were able to analyze these situations, as well as the shelter's audiences and purposes in writing. They then drafted social media posts for the shelter, and revised them based on feedback from shelter representatives, and then contributed the final drafts to a bank of posts that the shelter will be posting from throughout the year.
