The common good project was an extension of the rhetorical analysis. We did this assignment in a group of three people where we shared credit and practiced time management to meet up at different times to work on the project. We practiced communication skills as well by listening and determining when to add to a conversation which developed rapport with our peers. We divided the work up evenly and made a brochure, website, and rationale statement. The presentation of this assignment was the hardest part for me as I was nervous, and I need to practice more on my public speaking skills to overcome this fear though I felt more confident as I went especially when answering my classmates’ questions. I focused on the problems of technology. Karley did the development of technology and Maria did the benefits of technology in the classroom. The learning outcomes that were used in this course are understanding the nature of public discourse and debate as determined by purpose, audience, and context. As well as understanding how the knowledge, skills, and values learned in general education are interwoven and interrelated, and how they can contribute to the process of citizen leadership.
