What is the COLLEGE BOARD's definition of a "rhetorical situation"?

Does anything confuse you about what the rhetorical situation is?

If you answered yes or a little bit to the previous question, please articulate what's confusing you, to the best of your ability, so I can help you.

Write all that pertains to the rhetor from the College Board's objectives handout, which will be all statements regarding the writer.

• WHY: Moving forward, you need to understand that a name is not what makes the rhetor in a rhetorical situation

Knowing now that the rhetor needs to be defined by more than a name but by all of the elements you gave in #5, explain what you would need to add to be accurate with regard to "who is the rhetor?" Especially keep in mind context and purpose. Evaluate your two assessments and the practice quiz.

Does anything confuse you about what the rhetor/speaker/author of a text means?

If you answered yes or a little bit to the previous question, please articulate what's confusing you, to the best of your ability, so I can help you.

Did you take the practice quiz for the rhetorical situation assessment?

If you answered no or that you didn't know that there was a practice, please explain why you chose not to or were not aware.

Did you miss any INFORMATION in your "Who or what is the rhetor?" answer for the two assessments and the practice assessment (not points, but important details that could've or should've been included)?

Self-reflection of "RHETOR":

• Self-reflect on the comments I gave you for "rhetor" and/or if you didn't earn full credit for any of the rhetor answers. Explain why your answer(s) were not 100% accurate (even if you didn't get points deducted).

GOAL: show that you undertand now why the correct answer is correct and why you now need to be more accurate moving forward

• If I didn't give you additional feedback regarding the rhetor and/or you earned full credit, describe how you knew that you were correct or were able to understand the idea of a rhetor.
