Reflective Rhetorical Analysis

· Identify what you were trying to persuade your audience to do, feel, or believe.

· Identify your purpose in trying to persuade your audience.

· Who was your audience? What traits of that person or group shaped your ability to be persuasive?

· Consider your ethos at the time: your character or credibility. How did your values or your qualifications shape your rhetoric?

· Did you make use of pathos or logos in trying to persuade your audience? How and why?

· What was significant about the context of this situation: the time, the place, your histories. Even the music playing in the background. Consider "kairos" here (see Praxis 13-16).

· What would you do differently today, and why?
