I think a really helpful step for me was on the brainstorming part, where we would explain how our devices where used to help with the audiences understanding. Like with the bubbles, creating the three reasons that they were used in the speech were very helpful and provided lots of context for me.  Also the key to writing the thesis statement was very helpful for me, and gave me more confidence. 

summary- completing our rhetorical analysis planning
reflection- understanding the points to the rhetorical analysis.

Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester. This first semester course has provided lots of learning growth for me. I really enjoyed this course because learning new things was easy and the concepts were not difficult to understand.

Prompt: Describe a time when you took a hiatus from something important. What led to the break, and how did it impact you?

In seventh grade, me and my best friend had sort of a fight.  It was a stupid argument, and it was during the summer. After our fight we didn't really talk for the rest of the summer. I was really scared that i would lose my best friend because of this. But i realized that if our friendship could crumble after one little fight, lour friendship would not have gone anywhere. I thought that we were really good friends, but i realized how friendship didn't have any real foundation. So that was my hiatus, a break from a friendship. And it taught me value strong friendships and make sure to build them strongly. And now she is still my best friend to this day.  summary- We learned more rhetoric elements reflection- learning more of the meanings of these elements.

Think about a time when learning a new word or understanding a specific term helped you better analyze a text, express an idea, or make your writing stronger.

  Think about a time when learning a new word or understanding a specific term helped you better analyze a text, express an idea, or make your writing stronger. I cannot think of a specific time when this happened but more in my high school years when i would find myself repeating words, I will look up powerful synonyms and alternative words for the word that i was repeating. Putting better vocabulary in my essays or assignments would help support and bring more powerful messages and understandings of the assignment. I really like doing this because of how it makes my writing feel different and more expressive through bigger words. summary- in class we did lots of vocabulary work. reflection- learning new words and how to incorporate them in sentences.
