Order 100% Plagiarism free paper

Throughout the term, we explored many different topics including: Rhetoric, Rhetorical Analysis, Rhetorical Situation, Rhetorical Appeal, Rhetorical Modes, Arguing A Position, Oral Presentations, Drafting + Revising, etc… To better understand these concepts we often referred to various supporting materials including: persuasive articles, persuasive speeches, personal essays, poetry, etc…
For your Self-Reflective Essay, I’d like you to choose one of the concepts we covered during the term and choose one piece of supporting material that explored the concept and write a 1- 2 page self-reflective essay assessing how the concept and supporting material altered your view of the topic -or, how evaluating the topic changed your approach to writing. Essentially, I am looking for you to react to the material as an individual studying to be a more proficient writer and analyze how your understanding of writing has changed over the course.
To better articulate what I am looking for, here are a few examples of the topic and the corresponding supporting material:
When we discussed “Oral Presentations” we watched TedTalk Amy Cuddy’s “Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are.
When discussing “Rhetorical Analysis”, we read an opinion piece by CNN’s Judith Donath, titled, “Why Fake News Thrives Online”,
and when discussing “Arguing A Position” we read “Last Rites for Indian Dead” by Susan Shown Harjo, “Story About the Body’ By Robert Haas, “Terrible Deer” by Zachary Schomburg and “I Have a Theory About Reflection” by Renee Ashley.
Choose the ones listed above. (Use the source, article or ted talk listed above)
