RWD Reflection

For me, the RWD’s were really helpful in breaking down the components necessary for my rhetorical skills to evolve. What I liked most about the RWDs was the outline prescribed because I felt like as I kept filling them out I thought more and more about “conventional” writing techniques and why we use them. Tracing back to the bell hooks reading, I thought that the RWD’s really emphasized the importance of exploring the reasoning behind certain things that we take for granted in writing. We’re all taught in middle school how to structure a five-paragraph essay, how to format a paragraph or quote, but we don’t really look into why these methods would be the most effective and persuasive.
