MaryKate's DenveRhetor Writing Workshop Reflection

While I talked to Professor Bateman briefly about my rhetorical analysis, and had some ideas on what I needed to improve upon, the writing workshop was still extremely helpful. Merely reading my paper aloud to a group of people and the nervousness that brings helped me realize where I could refine my language and etc. Yet the most helpful element of the workshop was the feedback from other students. The suggestions were all very apt, especially the observation that I needed to set a context for the situation (i.e. what and where is Power Invasion Ministries) and the suggestion on how to expand the actual analysis part of my peice. I wrote about ethos and pathos yet I did not explictly explain how the speaker employed them, and to what effect they had. Also, I have to say the remarks reassuring me of my unbiasness were a big confidence boost. So thank you! I am sure the final draft of my DenveRhetor peice will be much more sensible and much more of an analysis due to all of the feed back I got. So thank you again and I'm off to revise. :)
