Reflection on Procedural Rhetoric
After completing and presenting my procedural rhetoric assignment, there were a few main points I learned. The first point is that relating to your audience is a key factor in gaining their full interest during your presentation. In the beginning of my presentation, I abruptly started explaining that our presentation was on how to change a car tire and proceeded in describing the first step. Instead, I could have started with a brief introduction to set the scene of why knowing how to change a car tire is so important. I could have asked the audience if any of them have done the task before and if they struggled with it or not. Doing this would attempt to relate to the audience on a more personal level and keep them interested. If I were to do this assignment again, I would add a little bit of personality to my portion of the presentation to lighten up the environment. Another thing I learned from this assignment is that writing clear, precise, and effective instructions can be more difficult than you expect! It is sometimes hard to decide what information is essential and what is unnecessary. To help solve this problem, it is a good idea to rehearse the presentation ahead of time because sometimes you don't notice issues until you present aloud. Including pictures and graphics was a great tool in this assignment and helped give the audience a better idea of the process.
