For the initial rhetorical in practice rough draft, I treated my rhetorical in practice just like I would with an RA assignment and I did a splendid job in analyzing my own poster along with the platform. I used two secondary sources, one after each claim of my choice in the platform and used the quotes from the secondary source to draw the connection between my work and the real world. This is how I described why my claims matter by relating it to the current society I was able to describe similar situations that stated in my platform.

One major problem I found out I had after showing my rough draft to my professor was that my paper lacked the connections between my claims and my platform. I didn't reference my own platform while analyzing the platform and claiming that the writer is trying to claim that gender equality and species can only be achieved by giving both sides equal status and respect.

After realizing the problem I put in more references on how my platform connected with my thesis and using secondary sources I explained how that idea relates to the real world. I also put in some references on how I used different persuasive techniques in my platform to persuade the reader to agree with my thoughts. After all the corrections I was left with three and a half pages so I desperately rephrased every sentence to make it shorter so I could keep it under three pages. I barely made it after rephrasing every sentence so that I would have to cut out an claims and analysis I had in my essay.
