Once you have received feedback from your instructor on your rough draft, it will be time to revise your Rhetorical Analysis Essay and submit the final draft. When revising, carefully review the feedback you have received from your instructor, along with the Module 1 Heads-Up: Rhetorical Analysis Essay pageand grading rubric. To earn credit for this assignment, you must make revisions to your rough draft. Remember, you can also visit the Virtual Communication Lab for feedback and help revising your essay.
In addition to your revised essay, you will need to submit a reflection letter (at least 250 words) based on the process outlined in the reading for this module.
In your reflection, you should include the following:
- Tell us who you think your target audience is and what you intend the essay to do for them. Describe the essay’s purpose(s) and the effect(s) you want it to have on your readers.
- Describe your process of working on the essay. How did you narrow the assigned topic? What kind of planning did you do? What steps did you go through? What revisions did you make after completing your rough draft, and why?
- How did comments from your instructor help you? How did any class readings or activities help you?
- What aspects of the essay are you still most concerned about? What aspects are you most proud of?
After you’ve drafted your reflection letter, think about whether your letter and essay match up. Does the essay really do what your letter promises? If not, then use your letter as a revising tool to make a few more adjustments to your essay. Then, when the essay is polished and ready, polish the letter as well and submit them both as separate documents.
