Goal Summary: This website isn't really a big website with that much information on it but it covered what I needed it to cover. And what it covers it goal, for goal it gives you a little brief definition that goal is what the world looks like after an achievement. How and why is this resource useful? This website like I said is short but covers goal very well in that with the definition it gives you examples on how it is used for instance one of the examples is they wanted to speak to people and recruit 300 students so what there goal was was to recruit 300 students. See it not only gives you a definition but it gives you examples to help you understand what goal is a little better. How and why is this resource credible? I found this site was very credible in that it is another educational website and it has all the information one needs and doesn't leave anything out. Citations: *

I found this posting very interesting due to the fact that I needed a little direction in how to apply this particular tennent to the assignment that I am working on. For me it put it in simple terms that I could understand and showed me with various questions and examples how to use it in my work.

After I read this peice of work i was able to understand the concept of the rhetorical term "goal". With in the web site were multiple strategies i could use to interpret the term (goal). The website not only gave different strategies but it also broke those different strategies into a step by step format that made the reading easier and clearer to understand. Because this website is very well organized and provides detailed information i belevie that this site would be very useful. I believe that this website is creditable because it was written and published by a very well educated and highly qualified man named, Samuel G. Freedman. The information was also published at Columbia University where Sauel Freedman is a professor. therefore i think that the author of this material and where the material origanated from makes this URL very creditable.

The Rhetorical Situation Summary I understand that this website does not define "goal" in our list of rhetorical terms but I believe that "goal" is the combination of these other two terms, a thesis and a purpose. This website describes a thesis statement as being a sense of direction for the paper. This means that you are informing the reader what direction you are going with the paper and sums up the conclusions you have come up with. It also describes the purpose statement as being very similar to thesis statement with the exception that a purpose statement does not specifically give the idea of the conclusions the author has. I believe that both of these terms accurately define "goal" in our list of rhetorical terms. How/why useful .This website is very useful because it defines both terms in simple language easy enough for me to understand. I found the examples that were given very useful and definitely helped understand the meanings of the two terms. The reason is that the website gives both good and bad examples, which make it easier to relate to my own experiences. How/why credible This website is credible because it is a .edu website. I think this is also a university website. Another thing that makes this site more credible is that is has links that redirect you to other helpful sources. Citation UW-Madison Writing Center.

Summary: The site I found is a power point that lists all of the components of the rhetorical situation and defines them. Audience was clearly defined and the author gave examples on how to write to a specific audience. The author said that an audience is needed when writing on the rhetorical situation. Without an audience the writing will lack purpose and therefore not do anybody any good. How is it useful? The site was very useful and helped me gain a better understanding on the audience's role in the rhetorical situation. The site had good examples educating on how to write to a specific audience. The author asked questions that the writer should consider when writing to an audience. The author would ask the question and then briefly describe the question in further detail. The author would ask a question like "To whom am I writing?" then answer it with description on the different kinds of audiences you can have. The author also informed that you need to research your audience; you need to know specific information so that you can write something that will interest them. Why is it useful? The site was a very easy to read document. It made finding answers quick and easy. Everything is organized and the information is well explained and backed up with examples. If I were writing a paper on rhetorical situation I would use this site. I found what I was looking for in a matter of seconds and found a lot of information on the subject in question. How is it credible? The information in the site was written by Alisa Cooper from South Mountain Community College. The site was probably used as a study guide for her students. It would not be a very good study guide if the information was false. The website is also a .edu meaning it's for education purposes. Why is it credible? The information in the site was taken from a book called Reasoning and Writing Well 3rd Edition. If the teacher drew her information from this book the information must be accurate. Eve

The goal is the purpose, motive, or reason for writing. there are two basic types of goals, general, or specific. I found this site useful it helper a lot in helping me understand goal. This is credible it is from South Mountain Community College.

With technology, a discussion can be posted on the web, making is accesible to anyone who cares to look for it. When something is posted on the web, that must be kept in mind.

Rhetorical Situations Summary: In reading the information found on this website I found that rhetorical situations is best described as features of audience, purpose, and exigency that create moments for a response. Basically in blatant terms it allows the reader to highlight or pull out the message the writer is trying to get across and why the writer wanted to make the statement in the first place or even who the author is or maybe the modality of the passage. How and why resource useful? This site is useful in many ways. First is that it gives the reader a great definition of what rhetorical situations is. Secondly the passage also give some sort of examples for what the definition is like, as I said above where it may tell you a little bit about the author or, what the goal is or maybe just what makes the writer want to write the passage. How and why is resource credible? The reason why I picked this website is not only because it had good information that I could use but it had great credibility on the site. The one major credibility is that it comes from an education website as you can tell the URL is .edu.
