Blog one post reflecting on what you learned from completing Project 1. Address the following:
- What did you learn from this assignment?
- How did you learn it?
- Why is this new knowledge significant as it contributes to your learning in (or beyond) this course?
- What do you need to know/do next to prepare for Project 2?
Weeks of working on my first English project of the semester are finished with, and I have finally completed my assignment. This assignment taught me a lot of necessary information, not only about rhetorical ecology, but also about Boston. With regards to rhetorical ecology, I learned that an ecology is similar to a certain culture. It has a specific audience with specific likes and similarities. This project also helped me learn more about my own ecology. Creating a mind map allowed me to expand my thinking and go into the different aspects of the culture of Boston. This new knowledge is significant to my future learning, because it helped me directly relate to the understanding of rhetorical ecology. I can now enter my everyday life, identifying all the different types of rhetorical ecology with my new knowledge. I think, for project two, I need to look more into the topic and then follow all of the writing steps I did for project one and I will do just fine.
