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:

One step of the rhetorical analysis process that helped me most was identifying the rhetorical situation. By focusing on the speaker, audience, purpose, and context, I learned how these elements shape the message. This step helped me understand why the speaker chose certain words and strategies to connect with the audience. It improved my ability to analyze a speaker's message because I could see not just what they were saying, but why they were saying it in that specific way.


Summary:

Today in class we did step 3 and 4 of our rhetorical analysis planning guide.

I learned how to create my thesis statement for my rhetorical analysis.
