Today's workshop on the DenveRhetor project was extremely beneficial for me as a rhetorical reporter. After reading my piece aloud, I already had a basic sense of what I should improve on. The class was very helpful when suggesting things that I could improve or expand or change. I enjoyed this exercise because as a writer, I often get so absorbed in my piece that it is difficult to look at it from an unbiased viewpoint. Because of this, I am grateful that I got to hear my peers' thoughts and advice.
In class, my peers mainly suggested to elaborate and expand on the content of RFK's actual lecture and to connect that to how it affected both me and those in the audience. To do this, I am going to incorporate into my paper what arguments he specifically made during the lecture as well as how he used rhetorical strategies such as ethos and kairos to appeal to his audience. I took notes during the lecture, so I will add in specific quotes that RFK said as well as their significance to his argument.
Thanks again to all of you for your wonderful and helpful insight!
