Thlog #2

            This week I really enjoyed learning about Rhetorical Analysis. I, like most everyone else, do find myself making observations about people upon meeting them. I am not doing this to judge them but rather I am trying to understand them immediately upon seeing them, which is natural. Also understanding the different elements included in rhetorical analysis, such as exigence and discourse, gave me further meaning to the topic. Rhetorical Analysis especially interested me because I plan to go to law school and I believe that having a good grasp on this and understanding how it works could give me skills that could benefit me in the future.
            On top of our learning on rhetorical analysis, I really enjoyed our in class activities for the week. Every Monday and Wednesday I am excited to get to this class. This is the first class in my college experience in which I have had any sort of interactive learning. Every other class has been lectures from a teacher in which half of what the professor is lecturing in not understandable. In just two weeks of this class, I feel like I have learned so much useful information that is going to help me be a better student and a better writer. This week I really enjoyed the daily process tips during our Monday class. Although these are tips that we should have learned in past years, I enjoyed getting a refresher. Also being able to discuss how we annotate our readings with our classmates helped me change my strategy and I now have a better approach. Working on PB1B was also enjoyable for me. I like finding patterns and I would say that this assignment was just that.

            As we go into this week, I am interested to see how the drafts go for WP1. I feel prepared with everything we have learned so far and I am looking forward on gaining more skills this week.
