Rhetorical Situations

Note Taking: The genre was informational but the tone was serious. I was my own audience so it was easy to write in a way that I could understand. My medium was hand-written print. My stance was that of a student and my purpose was to learn the subject better. I had to be careful not to put too much time into it. In this case, no design was necessary.

Texting To Friends:  My friends and I was planning future activities so the genre was collaborative and required analysis of our decisions. I know my audience very well but had to be prepared for their different points of view. The amount of knowledge n the topic varied on the person but we listened to each other's input and spoke informally to each other. There was no independence in this scenario. My goal was for my friends and I to come to a conclusion before the week was over.

Writing Class Assignments: The genre was informational and was based on opinion and recently learned information. This required the writing to be neat and organized with minimal design. The audience is my instructor so I had to write formally with a medium of print. I want the tone to come off an informed and well thought out. This assignment was entirely independent. My purpose is write a piece that is worthy of a good grade within the required deadline.
