In my third blog I kept nine of my original words, but decided to replace "technology" with "mode". Through my recent experience with composing, I felt as though "mode" held higher precedence over "technology". Along with my word replacement, I composed a modified visual of my theory of composing map.

My map begins with "rhetorical situation" resting on the mouth of the speaker. As stated in my original map, without rhetorical situation, there would not be context to derive a discussion; leaving composition hollow and meaningless. I placed "orator" on the tongue of the mouth to represent the speaker/author of the text. Then, I included an arrow with the word "fitting" within the arrow to establish that one's compositions must fit the rhetorical situation. I made "genre" larger to symbolize that there are various forms of genre, and picking a genre is a very big part of anyone's composition. For example, I picked a podcast as my genre for my second project because it "fit" my topic, as well as reached out to an audience of audio listeners. I put "rhetoric" inside "genre" to establish that one needs rhetoric within their genre to effectively communicate a certain effect on the audience. From here, I drew an arrow pointing to three symbols representing "mode". These function as different ways of representing information. Under "mode", the word "distribution"is seen pointing to an audience. This establishes that once a composition is finished, it can be distributed to it's intended audience. The word "network" is seen pointing to a larger audience. This functions to show that people pose as systems of interconnected webs. These webs can carry information to unintended audiences, functioning as a way of "circulation". This is shown through various stages of audiences as well as a world wide picture to show the overall affect of circulation across the globe.
