What do you feel like you learned this unit that you didn’t know before? In this unit, I feel like I enjoyed learning more in detail about the rhetorical devices because as I was reading on the examples of what they exactly were and how I was able to understand the device was good.
What did you already know , but now understand better or learned more about? In this case, I was already familiar with the word “Rhetorical” and so when I was reading the rhetorical devices book it showed more similar topics like Hyperbole, Procatalepsis, etc and I was able to have a better understanding on that.
What (if anything) do you feel like I wanted you to learn, but you still aren’t sure about? What are your lingering questions? I don’t have many lingering questions but I did love how you persuaded and informed that writing is not only about following a rubric and that you have the freedom to literally write anything without limits.
What are the strengths of the writing you did for this unit? What are you most proud of? I feel one of my strengths with my writing in this unit was finding the way I talk and writing that onto paper about a story that is personal but can be written the way I interpret it. I also think one of my strengths was keeping everything in the structure that it should be especially with my “The I no longer believe in” essay.
If you were to revise the writing you did for this unit, what would you want to do differently? I would want to maybe fix any sentences that seem a little long and shorten them a bit so that it can seem as if I wasn’t purposely expanding or anything like that.
How would you describe or rate your participation/engagement in this unit? I think my participation/engagement in this unit was all right. I know that I can do better when it comes to participating or engaging in the class.
What did you do in this unit that helped make you successful?
Finding my inner creativity because the “I no longer believe” essay taught me a lot when it comes to writing about anything personal. It taught me that you can write whatever you want without having the worry about what other people think of your work(unless there was a proper form someone wanted it to be of course).
What (if anything) do you want to do differently in the next unit?
I would love to do more creative free writing like the first essay we had to do because I really enjoyed being able to just write my story however way I was able to do so. I really loved it because I had never done any assignment/activity like that throughout my education years and so for that I’m definitely grateful.
What additional things (resources, support, information, etc.) do you wish you had had for this unit? I think for the topics we covered in this unit; the resources, support, and information were sufficient. For example, for resources and information the rhetorical devices; the book for this class consists of examples, context, etc on different types of devices which is satisfactory.
Is there anything you would like me to change (in the structure of our course, in how I’m presenting information, etc.) going forward? What were your favorite readings/activities, and which readings/activities didn’t feel effective for you? I have no problem with the structure of the course so far. My favorite readings so far in the course were the readings of the 3 essays we had to read which I think was other students’ “I no longer believe” essay because the outcome of that led to the activity that was by far my favorite.
What (if anything) from this unit would you like to discuss/think about/explore further? (either this semester or just in your life)?
I guess in life and this semester combined I would like to discuss/think about how creativity can impact your daily life in whatever way you desire. For example, I’m already familiar with how being creative works; but I would like to think about how I can improve on being creative in many different scenarios in someone’s daily life so they can create a different experience every 0nce in a while.
