Prompt: After watching the short film Identity, write a blog post reflecting on how the masks in the film represent the pressure to fit in and the struggle to discover who you really are. Choose one moment from the film that stood out to you and explain why. Then, connect the film’s message to Langston Hughes’ poem “I, Too” and to the mask you are creating in class. What part of your identity do you want your mask to revea

 The film Identity shows how people wear masks to fit in and hide who they really are. The moment that stood out to me was when the main character put on a mask just to look like everyone else, even though they seemed upset about it. This connects to the poem I, Too because the speaker wants to be seen for who they are and not be pushed aside. With my mask in class, I want to show the real me and be proud of what makes me different.

Prompt: Today, you learned how to complete a rhetorical analysis planning guide step by step, from identifying the rhetorical situation to analyzing devices and effects. Reflect on one step of the rhetorical analysis process that helped you understand the process more clearly. Explain what you learned during that step and how it improved your ability to analyze a speaker’s message.

Prompt Response: One step that helped me understand rhetorical analysis better was identifying the rhetorical situation. Breaking it down into speaker, audience, purpose, and context made the message easier to understand. It helped me see why the speaker chose certain words and ideas. Summary: Identifying the rhetorical situation made the analysis process clearer and more organized. Reflection: This step improved my ability to analyze a speaker’s message because I wasn’t just guessing what it meant. I could connect the message to who it was meant for and why it was said. That made my analysis more accurate and easier to explain.
