Week 1 - Summary and Reflection

This week was the introductory week to get prepared for the course this semester. We first reviewed many          important terms and ways of breaking down stories or papers by asking six main questions about the author and reader. We used examples from our life to reflect what we were taught in class. We also learned about the word rhetoric which is the ability to discern the available means of persuasion in any given situation. Rhetorical Situation and rhetorical analysis was what we talked about to day as well as how to construct and better our thesis statements, both of which will be extremely helpful.
I've learned a lot this week that will prepare me for the big project this semester, and i also think its going to be a very fun and exciting class. Im looking forward to what is planned for this class and interested in all the topics so far.
