Another Way of Learning

If you ever wanted to know and understand what you were reading so you aren't lost? Rhetorical concept tracker maybe be something you might be interested if you want to know what your reading and not just skim through it. This tool can be useful almost anything thing you read if you want to dive deeper and go more into it.

The rhetorical concept tracker can be used in other ways to help understand and analyze text. If you were given a new body of writing with its own type of writing rhetorical concept tracker can be used in this situation in different ways. One of the ways that this can be used is reading a research article  about an issue breaking down that article into parts and starting to under each portion to see why it was written and to understand what the author is writing each part for. This is so you can understand what your reading and to know why people are communicating this information to you to understand. Rhetorical concept tracker is great way to help understand text in parts and this can be transferred in almost anything that you read since it allows you to dive deeper into the authors purpose.

I learned about Rhetorical concept tracker during one of my college courses. This was by the was one of my favorite assignments given to me since it allowed me to better understand newer and harder information that I was experiencing for the first time. The Rhetorical concept tracker helped me analyze text and quotes that before I didn't think it would be useful. I was able to continue to use the concept tracker through my other assignments in college to gather information from a writing piece and understand what the author is telling me and how this is useful to me. This is by far a better way of analyzing text since it makes you think about the information your reading to always look at to this how is useful for you as well as why its useful.
