What single assignment, reading, activity or 'something else' was most helpful to you so far and why? Be specific.
The most helpful resource by far has been the rhetorical triangle handout. Being visual to a fault, this helped lay the groundwork for the course in a simple layout. I also thought that the way it was presented was especially helpful. This material was given with the other materials on the source and then we, as a class, were told to mark it up ourselves. This brought out our own ideas as well as content we felt was important from the text. Then afterward, we went over the important details in class and what we were supposed to gain from that resource. This method, then made the class think on the topic as well as expressed the important ideas of the course. It is also a great resource because it is easy to look back on to review the main ideas of the materials we have covered and the basics of rhetorical analysis. The first step I tend to take when analyzing a document now is to visualize that paper in my head.
