-ethos - he gives oral citations like "according to laws.com...." and uses a lot of percentages like 20% (show pic of a graph)
-logos - He gives an example of a male and female prostitute in the beginning and logically shows that male prostitutes look like everyday people
-pathos - he shows a picture of a guy using drugs which is emotional
2) Supermoon Slideshow
-ethos - he gives oral citations like according to Jack Chester of U.S. laboratory
-logos - says that moon will look bigger than normal especially when by horizon because it's closer to earth
-pathos - shows pic of houses under water during natural disaster - strikes emotions (he does clarify that these supermoons don't always cause natural disaster); shows pic of really big moon - makes audience gaze in wonder
ethos - I use alot of oral citations like according to John Winsor, etc.
pathos - I show pictures of a child at a drinking fountain in Africa and poverty in Africa, which are emotional to the reader
logos- I logically show how crowdsourcing can benefit a company (save money and innovate) and third world countries (let people know where nearest hospital is, when water is coming next, etc.)
Which do you think you rely on the most, given your topic and purpose in the slideshow?
I think I rely mostly on Ethos, I cite alot of stuff from John Winsor and Crowdsourcing.org for example. I think that helps my credibility though, since I myself have not engaged in crowdsourcing. These sources help inform the reader on how crowdsourcing is another form of outsourcing and how it can benefit them and poor countries as well.
Which of the rhetorical devices mentioned in the slideshow prompt do you use?
I don't really see any rhetorical devices in my slideshow. I don't use an anecdote, or emotive language, parallel language etc. That is probably something I should work on then to make my slideshow more interesting. Because right now I kind of just state the facts. I think my tone and intonation were pretty good though, I think I sound interested in my topic and vary my voice.
You did a really good job with this writing journal. As for the rhetorical devices, think about how you can use metaphor and repetition like we talked about in class a few weeks ago.
