Reflection
A key point of this assignment is not trying to force sources to work that will not work. Use this space to
reflect on ideas you may need to develop more and where you can use additional research.
● After reviewing each of your sources from the AB, are there any which don’t meet the
requirements of the RPA?
Based on my review of the resource for the Essay, there aren't any sources that don’t meet the
requirements of the RPA.
● Are there any sources which won’t serve a purpose in the RPA, or whose purpose is redundant
with another source? There are no sources that I believe that contain no purpose in the Essay
because I make a purpose for each of them by just reordering which one to be used first and
which one to be used last.
● Review the RPA assignment prompt and rubric in your college course. Are there any requirements
that are not being met by your current sources? What additional research do you need to do?
The additional research that I need to continue on doing is deciding on how to approach my
hostile audience and finalizing my chosen venue at which the audience will be reached as
described in the rubric. I also need to do a bit of improvement on my kairos using all of my
sources and based on all of the sources to decide on the Kairos that this Essay or topic takes place
and time at.
