Today, you learned how to complete a rhetorical analysis planning guide step by step, from identifying the rhetorical situation to analyzing devices and effects. Reflect on one step of the rhetorical analysis process that helped you understand the process more clearly. Explain what you learned during that step and how it improved your ability to analyze a speaker’s message.

 Prompt: Today, you learned how to complete a rhetorical analysis planning guide step by step, from identifying the rhetorical situation to analyzing devices and effects. Reflect on one step of the rhetorical analysis process that helped you understand the process more clearly. Explain what you learned during that step and how it improved your ability to analyze a speaker’s message.

Prompt Response:

The one step of the rhetorical analysis process that helped me was step 3, finding the rhetorical devices themselves is a helpful step to have an entire layout of the essay along with the thesis. Finding the devices on a text helps with evidence and helps choose the topic of your body paragraphs. I learned how much it helped to know what devices there were in the text, to know many options to pick in my thesis and what my body paragraphs would be about. It also helps me understand the text more, improving my ability to also analyze a speaker's message.

Summary:

Today we completed the other half of the packet we did not finish yesterday, we brainstormed ideas and rhetorical devices that could be a potential use in our thesis that we would work on with Mr. Rease. Then we went over how our introduction paragraph should be, how many sentences each section should have and ideas for a hook, such as a question, the definition of a term, etc.

Reflection:

I can reflect that I do have an idea on how I will write my essay and that it should not be too difficult, Mr. Rease said we could work ahead of time on it but I doubt I'll have the time to do it because this is the week where teachers push all the tests and quizzes onto students. I have to study for my tests and quiz but it should be okay.

 Prompt:  Reflect on your research topic and identify the most compelling issue connected to it. Clearly explain what the issue is and discuss why you find it particularly interesting or important. Support your response with specific details from your research. Prompt Response: The most compelling issue connected to it is the massive enforcement and deportation initiatives with humanitarian protection obligations and civil liberties. More specifically, the tightened U.S. immigration regime, I find it interesting and important since it's a big major issue today. The immigration policies of the country had impacted economically, socially, and politically, creating different outcomes for the immigrants or migrants who struggle to survive. Summary: Today we worked on selecting sources, each person presented a source from each category, then we would pick the best one to use. Mr. Rease gave us two worksheets to work on, my group managed to finished one paper. We had to fill in the ...

Prompt Response: What I most enjoyed about this class was how funny my classmates can be, the only entertaining people of my day since everybody in my other classes are either boring or annoying. I also enjoyed the work, not always but the majority of it was not overwhelming and I appreciate how Mr. Rease thoroughly explains what we need to do. I haven't felt completely clueless in a while and its a great feeling compared to last year. I don't really recall any project or assignment that I fou...

  Reflection: This assignment helped me reflect over my character and how simple I can be, I already knew some of the basic stuff about myself and it was nice to look back into it again. I barely needed to introduce my character or personality with other people so this is one of the few experiences that I get to do so.
