Blog- November 12

       I'm going to use ethos, pathos, and logos in my slideshow in a few ways. For ethos, I'm going to cite my sources verbally during the slideshow to show my credibility. Also, I'm going to speak in a serious tone to show my credibility as well. I will speak clear and professionally as well as be grammatically correct. For pathos, my pictures will get an emotional reaction from my audience. Because my topic is the history of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, a sad emotion makes sense for my slideshow. For logos, I will make sure that my slideshow is chronological order and make sense to my audience. Also, I will use statistics.
       I think I will rely on ethos most, because my slideshow is about the history of the war. I will have to prove that I'm credible so that my audience will believe that all my information is correct. My slideshow is informational, so my audience needs to know that all my sources and information are credible, up to date, and correct. Being clear and professional will help prove my credibility which is very important considering my topic and audience. That's why I think I will rely on ethos most.

       I'm not quite sure what slideshow prompt I'm supposed to look at for rhetorical devices. I don't really know what that part of the blog question is talking about. I know that visual rhetoric will be really important in the slideshow. I'll have to make sure my pictures fit well with what I'm talking about as well as making sure the pictures flow well. The way the pictures are arranged with what I'm saying will definitely be important to my topic and main points.
