Reflection #24

 Summary: Today we spent the entire class going over rhetorical appeals. We did so by reviewing examples of each one in various forms of media, such as political ads, commercials, and campaigns. We also detailed the 3 types of claims - value, policy, and fact.  

Reflection: Some of the examples you gave I felt could have been any of the 3. For example, I feel like there is a justification for the soda ad (Drink it and believe it) to have been ethos, as they gave a guy who was an accredited actor, logos because they said it has 60% less sugar than other sodas, and pathos because the ad aims to make you envious of the actor, who is traditionally attractive and drinks the soda.

Evaluation: I felt like today was an effective way to learn. It was relatively simple for the most part, and I grew to better understand what rhetorical appeal questions are asking me to find. 

Nitpicking: I don't love the tardy mark 30 seconds after the bell rang because I had to go through another entrance further away from the class and through a poorly managed metal detector. Rant over- I'll live.
