The assignment reflected on a discussion post analyzing COVID-19 posters from the CDC and a secondary research article. The reflection satisfied the "Generating Inquiry" outcome by exploring visual rhetoric used in the posters and generating questions about genre and purpose. The reflection also examined rhetoric used in one of the secondary sources. Something learned was a better understanding of how impactful visual rhetoric can be and that authors must consider layout and design like artists.

How has this assignment helped you engage in your chosen
outcome? Did you write about one of the goals in the outcomes, or did you apply the skills talked about in each one? - The assignment I have chosen to reflect on is my submission for the fourth reading discussion. In this submission, I satisfied the “Generating Inquiry” criteria by exploring the authors’ use of visual rhetoric in the CDC’s COVID-19 posters. Additionally, I generated lines of inquiry regarding the genre and purpose. Later on, I examined one of my secondary source author’s use of rhetoric in their research article. 2. What is something, whether it be a concept or a personal realization, that you learned while engaging in this assignment? Or, if you didn't learn anything, what did you find useful about this exercise? - Something I realized while creating this assignment that I find helpful is the understanding of visual rhetoric and how much of a difference it really makes. As an author, you are also an artist when it comes to the construction of how your articles should be laid out.
