Some things that I felt like I have learned was the ability to gain the audiences attention a lot better by using different forms of Rhetorical devices that I never fully understood before. Being able to learn how to grab the readers attention using different techniques and skills was something that I really enjoyed learning how to do.
One thing that I already knew was metaphor. But the more I read about how metaphors can be used to make your language sound more nice, I am now able to have a better idea of what message I can send by using something else.
I would like to learn a little bit more about Anti-thesis. I don’t really have questions about it but I do think that understanding anti-thesis is where I am stuck at.
A strength that I would say I had during this unit was being able to jot everything I had in my mind down on paper before beginning revision. I would always stress about how a first draft needed to be perfect. This unit, I was able to find a better plan of action in order to reduce that stress and I was able to accept that a first draft doesn’t need to need to be perfect. It’s always important to be able to write your ideas down on paper first before anything.
Something that I would like to do differently is to add some dialogue do give a little bit of an in-depth experience for the reader to make them feel like they are actually in my shoes.
I think that my participation was fairly decent and I always had something to respond to and share my ideas on.
Something that helped me be successful this unit was being able to use prior knowledge in my english classes as well as using my present knowledge to have an understanding of what exactly I wanted to write for my essay.
I would like to try and get a head start instead of waiting until the last minute to complete an assignment because I feel like I could have had more ideas if I simply just started a little bit early.
I do not wish that I had any additional information for this unit. All of the information that I learned and had was more than enough.
Every piece of information that was presented this unit didn’t give me any problems whatsoever. My favorite activities would have to be either bandwagon or fear appeal.
I would like to discuss a little bit more about propaganda and in depth on the positives and negatives of it.
