In our rhetorical ecology map and memo, I learned how to transform an essay into a memo format, and how to make a rhetorical ecology map. I learned how to transition an essay into a memo format because I originally wrote my memo as a stereotypical essay. I had to decide what parts of my essay I wanted in my different sub-columns to best describe my map. I had no idea what a rhetorical ecology map looked like coming into this project and I feel that I had a pretty good understanding of them after completing this project. This learning is significant because I will be able identify other rhetorical ecologies in my life. I don’t know what I will do with this information, but at least I’ll have it I guess(?). I expect to learn more things/skills that I am unaware of in project two, and hope that they can influence my time here at Fairfield.
