Draft of Project 1

Understand how to rhetorically analyze a paper

Understand the missing pieces and how to make the flow within

Analyze content/response journals and how they contribute to the writing process

Project 1: rhetorical analysis

We had to support our topic by gathering information from other sources and composing information from that

We had to critical think about how we feel about our topic and what it means to us

Project 2: annotated bibliography

We had to make sure the sources connected enough with our topics

Critical thinking was used by understanding the main ideas of the texts to see if they were fit to support our claims

We had to find sources that were credible and fit the professors requirements

Journal 5

Using a thesis statement effectively is mentioned

Counterarguments are included within this reading and journal where it is explained how to handle them

Journal 6

Interview Report

We had to create questions that we think would benefit our learning

Putting together the interview report into a document had to be set up a certain way that made me think about the reasoning of the entire process

Journal 7

This was a journal about my personal connection to climate change

I had to critically think as to why this issue is a big deal to me

I had to find supporting reasonings within my own mind

We had to compose project 3 from our sources in project 2

Placing all of the information together and flowing seamlessly included critical thinking

We had to find ways to have the audience connect to the issue

SLO activity

We had to break down all of our student learning objectives and put them into our own words

While putting the SLO's in our own words, we were able to reflect on them as we broke them down

The peer reviews helped with this beyond belief because they were able to tell when I was using information to make the word count

Hearing feedback from someone else allowed me to know when I did not need certain information
