Student Choice: 500 words or 5-minute video. You author content that includes a title, category, and a reflection about your experiences in this class. Consider specific assignments, specific readings/films, specific conversations, and/or specific processes that helped you learn and grow. In this blog, I get to choose a class-based topic to write about. In class on Thursday, we played in a game show, called "Lets Talk!" . There were two games we participated in as groups, and I am going to be talking about the first one in this blog. The second game will be in the blog, "Lets Talk!" Part Two.
The first game, we had to match a certain number of phrases/words to a category that was listed in bold. The four categories were, Rhetorical Mode, Rhetorical Purposes, Motives, and, Genres/Subgenres. This game was very beneficial to me, as I did not originally know the difference between a rhetorical mode and a rhetorical purpose. Now that I have participated in this game, I have a new understanding of the two. I have also learned two new acronyms for the rhetorical purposes and rhetorical mode. PIE and DEAN. PIE is for the purposes, standing for, Persuade, Inform, and Entertain. DEAN is for the modes, standing for, Description, Exposition, Argumentation, and Narration. The genres and subgenres category was the easier one of the four categories, as they are the categories for literature pieces. The ones listed were, creative nonfiction, reflective writing, and memoir. Memoir is a subgenre of creative nonfiction. The last category was motives, which were inspiring, and makes you understand the purpose of the class a little bit better. I'm not going to list them all, but some of them were, to travel to different places: past self, other countries, examine my life, make meaning. Get good grades was there too, yet, he didn't just want us to be motivated by grades. Below are pictures of the 4 categories and their answers.
