Rhetorical Analysis Reflection Memo

Once you have finished your Rhetorical Analysis, you will need to write a second memo, addressed to me as your professor. In this memo, you will reflect back on the work that you have done with this Rhetorical Analysis Project.

This memo will be short (about 1 page in length) and can be a bit more informal than the Rhetorical Analysis memo. You do want to still pay attention to grammar, spelling, punctuation, and flow though. You may use headings if you wish, but they are not necessary.

In the memo, you will reflect back on both the document you chose for your artifact and the memo that you wrote and are submitting for the project. You will want to answer the following questions; however, please don’t write them as a set of answers to questions. Use regular sentences and paragraphing to describe your writing process and journey through the project.

What was the hardest thing about completing your Rhetorical Analysis?

What was the easiest thing?

If you could go back now, would you still choose the same artifact to work with, or would you choose something different? Why or why not?

What sorts of things did you learn about yourself as a student and a writer during this project?

How did you decide what information to include / exclude when writing your analysis?

How did the process go as a whole?

What are some of your concerns about your assignment, now that you are submitting it?

Are there any changes you will make to your work habits before our next assignment? Why/Why not?

What grade do you think this document deserves? (Please use a number grade, not a letter, and be realistic. (A 100 is very, very rare.)

What other things would you like me to know before I grade the assignment?

This memo will be due with the final draft of your Rhetorical Analysis assignment and will count as 25 points toward your grade. You will submit this memo on a separate link, though, so please pay close attention to which document is submitted on which link. Incorrectly submitted documents will be considered late until submitted correctly.
