During class we were told to write ten things we included in our Rhetoric-In-Practice project whether they were intentional or not. As I was trying to find ten things in my project, I realized I wasn't having a difficult time to list all ten because I knew everything that I did intentionally. Most of what I did at that moment of the exercise was to match the Cosmopolitan website, so my audience could fit in with my message and the genre. 

However, the second part of this exercise was to pass the paper to our peers and have them find ten things they found throughout my project. I discovered they were struggling to come up with ten choices they made on their projects because not everything was intentional. When we were looking through each others projects, it was easier for us to find those ten items because as readers, we notice more things than the person who created the project itself.

Furthermore, it helped me a lot to see my project from their perspectives because I forgot some things I included on purpose in my own project whether that was my own creativity or whether that was me following the website. Also during this activity, my peers found it easy to identify my genre, message, purpose, and audience. That gave me a confidence boost because it allowed me to know that I was heading toward the right direction with what I was doing. Yet, they also critiqued me by saying how the project could resemble the Cosmopolitan website more than just using pink text and vibrant images.
