Metacognitive Moves Paper

     When strategizing how I would create the rhetorical situation within my project I wanted to focus on interpersonal communication. I created a situation in which a man running for State Rep is accused of a sexual scandal during his campaign. This obviously throws a huge wrench into the campaign causing a lot of stress and planning throughout the whole campaign and its interaction with the community. In “Writing Identities” one of the clear first parts of the article say you need to create a character that people trust.

I wanted to give the audience a situation that wasn’t really guided by myself as the writer and open a space where i think the issue would be discussed if it were a real life situation.      The first textual genre I made was an initial campaign speech. I needed an introduction for ...

Final Project Part 1

Campaign Speech This is just some insight on who I wanted Dan Smith to be. I wanted him to be a politician who’s politics weren’t actually that good, that way I could create a scandal which kind of goes against exactly what he stands for. Obviously I would never vote for a person with these ideas but I think it would be interesting to step into the shoes of his campaign manager trying to diffuse that fire and defend him. This is also his introductory speech and first of the campaign. ____________________________________________________________________________ Address audience* My name is Dan Smith and I’m running for State representative in Pennsylvania.

Post Analysis Interview

Elizabeth Wilby English 202D Interview with: Yankee Doodle Prior knowledge: Went to Chest Wester University, majored in Communications, works with OReoS as a T. consultant in hiring for tech companies I opened the interview asking him what a day in his normal schedule looks like. Yankee often has the option to work in his office or at home unless he needs to be there for an interview or a meeting with other consultants and coworkers working with him or if he needs to give a comparison report to his bosses. He said he believes he communicates more with people if he works from home since he is constantly calling or getting calls as well as emailing someone about where he is within his work.

Project Proposal

Five jobs I observed that I would be interested in are: Deputy Director of Development at the Philadelphia Art Museum: This job seems to involve a lot of task management and probably has a hand in most of the other departments within the museum. I think It would be interesting to have a job that allowed you to constantly be able to see the way things work and come to fruition within a company. Manager of Special Events at the Kimmel Center: This job is administrative, but a huge aspect of it seems to involve budgeting and organizing while remaining cool under pressure. I believe I would be good in a position like this. It would also be interesting to be able to focus on many short term projects or events due to the quick nature of this job. Director of Client Relations at the Kimmel Center: Client relations is huge deal for companies and organizations that rely on donations or repeat and higher profile customers. In order to maintain these relationships you would ...
