Reflective Letter

When entering the class my thoughts of rhetorical choice was actually not bad. I took a communication theory class back in junior college and thought I could sum up a bit but after being in the course I'm well off. I've taken your course before so I know how things go. The articles I read were extremely hard. The only thing that made it somewhat clearer was the thought of service learning. The idea of comparing something that I thought had no type of comparison and using that as a model to expand to other rhetorical issues.

The website was a huge help but I'm still far from a understanding. It's everything else I always thought I knew till I took this course and there's always tons of only ways. When I think of rhetoric I think of an audience, the purpose, and persuading a topic. As many times as it was explained to me I didnt get it till I began my website. I remember last semester in english we covered a lot of different topics and we always had to read the required reading and come back the next class with a extended bibilography. Most of the time I didnt even understand what I was writing and after I later recieved my paper back and there would be a better understanding of how to do such. Like topic of writing analytically, had know clue of what that was before I began the course but now it's a topic I'm familiar with.

The website assignment made this particular assignment fun. It helped in some sort of way, I usually stress over things like this but I took a different approach. As days went on and I didnt more research I found my audience and the awareness of my topic changing a lot. The target of a certain audeince changed and so did my title. Wen doing my website I thought of content, context, and the audience concern. The pictures/images/information I provided all resemble one another. A particular target of persuasion of the audience.

My communication research class which you would think has nothing to do class taught me how to find scholarly artilces which provided me with a significant amount of journals and articles. From those articles I went to the references and found more information that gave different point of views to give me a better understanding. I greatly benefitted from them because when it came to argumentation between two topics I had all I needed. As difficult as the assignment was after a while it became much more managable. I believe this came from working with wix and the difference and how simple weebly was to access material. My sources were very helpful, I used a lot of the assignments we used this semester to help. For one I remember you said how my sources needed to converse and thats what I did.
