Throughout the semester I learned a lot of different new techniques. There have been some techniques I have learned before this class but I never knew my full potential in writing and improving them. As challenging as this class was to me, I learned rhetorical knowledge, critical thinking, and process.
Rhetorical knowledge helped me write the documentary summary because it taught me how to analyze contexts and how to connect with the audience by explaining what the article itself is trying to emphasize on and how it was it was using pathos, logos and ethos in order to show its purpose. It helped me focus on what the purpose of the article, summary, documentary was trying to show the audience versus how the author or director was trying to get his/her point across through the film/article.
Critical thinking has always been asked of me when it comes to writing so I thought I knew all about it, I was wrong.
When writing my summary analysis project, I had to force myself to not create any biases. I had to make statements without including any evidence or generalizations and to me that involves a lot of critical thinking. My multi modal was difficult to me to show any biases but I learned the difference between making statements with evidence and making statements without any evidence. Out of all the writing assignments asked from us I think this was the hardest for me. The summary part not so much but the analysis part was challenging without making any false assumptions.
As for "process" I've always been taught to write rough drafts, and to kind of jot down any ideas but in this class I leaned RAD and I learned free writing and constantly posting blogs about how I was feeling about the current project really helped me clear my head and organize my ideas well.
