Rhetorical Situations

We explored the following concepts:

  • Purpose
  • Audience
  • Stance
  • Genre
  • Medium 
  • Design

Briefly describe what each of these terms mean and why they are important for effective writing. Then, describe an assignment you completed which allowed you to practice these concepts. What was difficult for you? What did you do well? How did these concepts inform the choices you made as you wrote?

To complete this page, embed that assignment either by copying it below, hyperlinking to it (if it’s accessible in a space like Google Drive), or embedding it as a PDF.
