Final Reflection on Rhetoric Analysis

The purpose of my rhetoric analysis essay is to take an item and break it down into many different parts of the overall item. It’s to teach us rhetoric analysis in general. My audience for my item (3-D television) is for anyone that interactive with that item. I had to do research on this item in order to fully understand it. I went on different websites in order to get a full understanding. I used websites like best buy and 3rd party websites. When I found more info on 3D television, I had to go back and edit it to make it a longer. Since I was the only one in my "group" to work on this essay, all the reasonability came down to myself to make sure I get all the work done. I had to also make sure to cite all my sources to create credibility to my item. I listed the pros and cons over the new tech and told how the device works. I listed why society wants 3D television anyways. I put picture of the unique brand I was doing. I like to use peer reviews to make sure my assignment stays on track. Once I get my corrections, I go back and fix them. I like to use a word processor in make sure everything goes smoothly.

Reflection on Rhetorical Analysis Essay

Rhetorical Knowledge

• My purpose for writing this assignment is to write about the connection between teachers' pay vs. teachers performance. My primary audience will be parents. I will be writing it in an essay format. I choose the teachers union side, so I will be speaking in an argument tone.

CRWT

• In my paper, I research the bill and try to understand the draft.
• I used sites like Best Buy or other information areas.
Composing Processes
• I write the out with a pro/con format. I wanted to make sure the reader could understand points of the bill. I feel I did a good job organizing it. My teammate gave me advice when it came to make it better with his peer review.

Knowledge of Conventions

• When it came to editing, I wanted to keep the track changes on because I wanted to see my edits before I saved. It’s important to edit because, you item can always change in the course of you writing about it. I hope to get more into detail of my item in the upcoming drafts. When it came to sources, I used footnotes to help make my argument more creditable.

Writing Technologies

• I used my Word Processor, to type my pages as well as the internet for information. Email was a good way to send information to me when I didn't have a flash drive.
