Today in class we learned about rhetorical situations. A rhetorical situation is any circumstance in which one or more people employ rhetoric. There are 8 components of rhetorical situations. The components are exigence,context,speaker, purpose,audience, text, genre,and message. Exigence is what motivated the writer to write. Context is when and what was happening during the time the text was written. Speaker is the person arguing. Purpose is what the author want to accomplish. Audience is the listeners, or who the author wanted to reach. Text is the spoken word. Genre is how the argument is delivered. Message is the theme. I enjoyed how the lesson was connected to real world events .
Today’s class was lack luster. We didn’t do anything interactive. We started class off with an assessment on terms we haven’t looked at or thought about since writing them in our notebooks. Since I did do a bit of cram studying I think I did pretty well on the test. After completing this test we did a pre-test. This test wasn’t very hard either, it was boring though. I also didn’t get to complete my extended response question.
