Hello class! Welcome bag to the blog website for tonight. At the beginning of class we talked about the essay that will occur on Tuesday and what we will have to do. Basically, we get a few passages and have to give a rhetorical analysis, analyze rhetorical devices, or both of those combined. We then completed an individual assignment where we had to pick a political campaign ad - a video specifically - and analyze it. A political one does not necessarily mean presidential but it can be local too! On the slide you have to pick blue if your campaign uses logos or red if your campaign uses pathos. The next thing you have to do is find a link and claim your slide before you write your rhetorical paragraph. In your rhetorical paragraph you should describe what it does using quotes/ or evidence from the video and explain how that refers to logos or pathos. Looking through the class presentations - I see that pathos is more a popular appeal especially since well most of us do have feelings. For my campaign I checked out a campaign ad called Mirrors which is trying to provoke a pathos feeling of sadness to see a certain political candidate bash women for their bodies. Link will be below. Another thing is in case you missed it, we were allowed to work with partners or individually so if you weren’t here no need to feel like you missed anything! You can do this right at home. Thanks for tuning into todays blog post.

GREAT post, Julia! I love that you included your actual campaign ad in your post so we can really understand what you watched and learned in class today. Great work.
