Cover Letter
- Who is your audience and how did you tailor your language and rhetorical choices to appeal to them and/or meet their needs?
My audience is a beginner that wants to start investing but is too scared to invest. So mostly, college students. I wanted to inform them of different types of investment and how they can start investing. So, I made sure to include a lot of credible sources and make that I am not misleading anymore.
- What are some of the most meaningful insights you’ve gained in this phase (and through writing this assignment) regarding language and literacy (as topics you’re learning about and as practices, you’re developing)?
Some insights that I was able to gain in this phrase was learning how to analyze quotes and add my own interpretation into my explanation.
- What concepts/terms have most impacted your learning and your writing practices (e.g., rhetoric; rhetorical situation; context; exigence; purpose; author; audience; text; genre; argument; evidence; or something else)? How so?
I think the terms that most impacted my learning and writing practices were the purpose and tone of the essay. I think when writing a research paper, I need to make sure that I am getting my point across to my readers and make sure the information is correct. I also wanted to make it entertaining enough for my readers to continue reading.
- In what ways has this phase’s assignment helped you to achieve (some/any of) the Course Learning Outcomes? (These outcomes are listed in the syllabus and offered below for convenience.) Please provide actual examples (e.g., moments in/after class or through the completion of certain assignments) and please actually refer to and quote at least one Course Learning Outcome.
“Use conventions appropriate to audience, genre, and purpose.” This really help me achieve the Course Learning Outcomes because I needed to be mindful of what I am saying and the word choices that I am going to use with the different audiences. Such as when speaking with classmates as the audience, my purpose was to entertain and tell them a story that I have experienced before.
- What would you have changed if you had more time?
I would like to add more advice and perhaps add more information that is useful and give them steps to use the information that was given.
- What did you do well?
I think I did well in analyzing texts and explaining the topic and information.
- What specific feedback do you want me to give you?
Perhaps, how helpful for the information that was provided for in the writing.
- Anything else you want me to know?
