Summary of What I've Learned So Far

In our class so far, I've learned why writing well is so important in the world today and how we are attracted to certain types of media. We also were given some terms that will play a vital part in good writing, such as inquiry, rhetoric, and discourse. We've been focusing more on rhetoric and the multiple ways companies and other media use it in their attempts to persuade us to try their product. Literacy was another point we visited, as well as academic writing. Writing through the view of the writer/ reader was also another important topic we covered; the main part I remember from this were the 6 key questions, and how we should always ask ourselves these questions anytime we read. Audience and purpose were two other topics we covered.We also covered thesis statements, and even dissected a few of our classmates' thesis statements. Now we're continuing our focus on rhetoric as well as starting on our Major Inquiry Project Assignments.
