Personally I remember making a podcast as a project in high school, and I remember how it was fun especially when you do it with other people because you are recording your discussion, it feels more casual.

I like how they mentioned trans mediation. This happens a lot nowadays for example a book becoming a movie, I never knew there was a word for it.

I like how they talk about becoming attached to your work and not wanting to change it because I have definitely been through that, but it is important to be open to change.

I really like when others give feedback on my work because often I know what I am saying but it may come off as confusing to someone else.

I always considered revision as checking for mistakes, but I think going forward it is important to note how revision is considering new possibilities.

Find a position that can be refuted, find a source, summarize it and create an outline of your response.

When you find a reliable source, look at the sources it cites to find more sources.

Summary: set up context, paraphrase: give a sense of the argument, quotation: draw attention to something insightful the author said.

Where does the source appear?; look for information about the creator; grammatical error, no attributions, no links may be suspect.

Make sure to analyze primary sources to see if they are trustworthy, be careful when talking about bias, rather use evidence from language and logic.

Collaborating and working together can give you bigger and better results.

The rhetorical triangle is text, author, audience like we learned in the first grassroots reading.

Collaborating includes dividing up tasks and expressing your ideas with everyone.

Examining a paragraph through finding the evidence and claim allows you to see how the author makes the case.

for an argument, evidence, analysis, implications, or context is needed

It is crucial to think about your impression on the audience. I like their example of a linked in page because you have to establish your identities.

Performance can stir emotions in the audience. I think this makes them tune in more. This reminds me of influencer apologizing for controversies. For example, crying for the video which makes the audience feel bad for them.

When using rhetoric it is important to take not of your audience and therefore use different tones to make dialogue more effective. It is interesting how they included saying something outrageous will attract attention online because I feel like that is how a lot of people become famous. Usually they get swept up in controversy which makes them famous.

visual literacy is analyzing elements of a visual text

Close reading is not just for simple texts, it can be for everything and is considered a life skill. Close reading ensures a deep look at what the text really means and that is important to note.

I think it is important to analyze both text and visuals, as visuals help enhance the text and make it interesting for the reader.

Something in a text you might see that another student doesn't see, it is important to note that.

It is important to consider every point of view when reading dense texts. It is important for historical texts to be different in age and cultural background.

When reading critically, it means you are using different lenses to read. For example, using a pathos, logos, or ethos lens may help you.

I agree, when doing synthesis it takes sets of things and turns it into one big idea.

Synthesis is just as important as analysis as it HELPS you piece things together and helps you look at every aspect of text and how they connect together.

Explication comes from "unfold" it can be considered in terms of analysis when you break down works into little pieces.

Analysis requires something to be taken into count by breaking it up into pieces

Comprehensive and critical reading needs a search for special concepts in writers works. It helps you well when you read a text. You have to consider EVERYTHING in works.

The internet beings together groups of people to share ideas, but disagreements and opinions seem to be popular.

An abstract gives the reader an idea of what the article is about. The evidence becomes clear and so does if the writer used pathos, logos, or ethos.

The questions that are being asked here help write a more thoughtful argument if you are able to answer them.

This is why it is important to back up your reasoning with either pathos, logos or ethos.

Rhetorical concepts are ethos, pathos, logos. Ethos is the credibility that a writer brings to the subject that is being talked about. Pathos is the use of emotion in arguments and debates. Logos is the appeal to reason to a well thought out position.

Negative connotations of rhetoric are fueled by ancient views that it is a distraction taking away from more important matters.

A definition of rhetoric is fueling debate in different spaces to come to a common goal or decision

Analyzing visual texts can result in debates about different perspectives, for example lines (vertical vs. horizontal vs. diagonal).
