Rhetorical Analysis Thesis Statement

   Today in class I had to create a rhetorical analysis thesis statement. It was kind of difficult for me because it was my the first time. I had always made regular thesis statements, but never one based off of a rhetorical situation. Some of the the examples and guidelines helped, but I still didn’t fully understand. I finally came up with a revised thesis statement after critiquing my original one.

Author’s Purpose and Rhetorical Situation

Today on online class I worked more on the rhetorical situation. I took a small quiz on rhetorical situation. I had to explain the author’s purpose and why the audience was so important to when writing. The audience is very important when writing because they are the ones that the writer is trying to win over.I also created a few examples on rhetorical situation; I still don’t feel like I really understand how to identify a rhetorical situation. But with a little more practice I can better my skills.

Second day of Online Class

  Today online class was a lot better. It was very easy getting adapted to and straight to the point.We had to watch more videos on the rhetorical situation , but it helped me understand better. I learned more about genres and the different kind. I also learned that I was better at analyzing a rhetorical situation than I thought.

First Day of Online Class

    Today was the first day of online class officially. It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I woke up early, because I thought everything was going to be chaotic. It was straightforward, but kind of time consuming. The Rhetorical situation video was fairly longer than most videos, but it taught me important facts on rhetoric. It is a great tool for anyone taking the upcoming Ap exam.

Week #2

    This was a very hard week for me. I found out that school was officially going to be out for the rest of the term. I was so devastated ;I didn’t even want to watch the new Netflix show I’ve been talking about for weeks. I am going to miss being with my teachers ,and classmates.

This week

      This week I accomplished absolutely nothing. I did some science homework, but I feel like I have learned nothing. Which for me is a terrible feeling. I hope this virus doesn’t last long because I miss school, online school is not the same. I miss interacting with my friends and teachers the most ; I feel like a part of my inner self is slowly shifting away.

Short Films

         Today in class we watched several short films. All of the short films had valuable meanings to them. I’ve watched some of them already, but it was better to discuss it with my classmates.
