Prompt: Today, you learned how to complete a rhetorical analysis planning guide step by step, from identifying the rhetorical situation to analyzing devices and effects. Reflect on one step of the rhetorical analysis process that helped you understand the process more clearly. Explain what you learned during that step and how it improved your ability to analyze a speaker’s message.

Identifying the rhetorical situation was the most helpful step because it forced me to look at the "why" and "who" behind the speech before diving into the text. I learned that knowing the speaker's specific audience and the occasion helps me see that their words aren't random, but are chosen for a reason.

Prompt: What is the most challenging part of working in a group? Discuss a time when a group assignment did not go as well as you planned and how you learned from that experience.

One time, my group failed to finish a poster because we did not talk about who was doing each part, which led to a lot of confusion and a late project.
