Essay #3 Reflection
In this reflection (250-500 words, you will explore the process of researching and incorporating sources into your essay. Post your response to the COURSE BLOG on the Academic Commons and comment on at least two of your classmates’ posts. Questions to consider:
- How did composing your Composition in Two Genres differ from writing a traditional essay?
- Why did you choose your genres and how did your intended audience(s) affect your choice?
- What rhetorical strategies did you use to engage your audience? Did you draw on pathos (appealing to emotions), logos (appealing to logic or reason) and/or ethos (your own ethics/credibility)? How so?
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns. You may respond directly to this thread or contact me separately via email. Per my earlier announcement, my office hours this Friday (12/4) will be dedicated to a live workshop on your Final Portfolios, however I am available by appointment through the end of the semester for those of you who would like to meet 1-on-1. 🙂
Happy Writing!
