Assignment 6: Taking stock of what you know
Write
Part 1:
Next, review the notes you’ve taken on McCloud Download McCloudfor Assignments 4 and 5 in which you made observations about the rhetorical situation and argument. Write one page in which you explain what you know about this text.
The writing does not need to be polished or cohesive—think of this as pre-writing or free-writing about the text—but it does need to include observations about the text’s argument and the rhetorical conditions of its production, it needs to integrate at least one direct quote, and it needs to cite both that quote and an additional paraphrase according to the methods you learned in the reading.

Write roughly one more page in which you reflect on your relationship to the ideas presented in the text and in which you identify critical questions that were raised—either in the text itself or through your connection to it—that would merit others’ attention and further research.
