intended ideas. For example, by analyzing two different genres I was able to
understand the importance of their differences and how each conveyed the
same topic but in a different perspective.
The second assignment was the Literature Review. This assignment
was intended to help us develop knowledge through research methods.
Through these research methods, it taught us how to create a more efficient
argument for our topic. This assignment developed ethos as we learned how
to make our arguments in the taken position more credible. It taught us how
to persuade our audience supporting our argument through the variety of
research. We had to create four research questions as well as conduct
primary research. A third person voice throughout was one of the
requirements as well as AP formatting and an abstract, an introduction with
general background information, and a review of the literature where it was a
blend of discussion between the primary and secondary research findings.
Lastly, this assignment needed to be completed being informative not
argumentative.
Our third assignment was the documentary film which we were able to
do it in groups of no more than 4 per group. The purpose of this documentary
film was to create a visual expression to convey a message or point of view
that could make a change in our community. This film had to create
awareness and advocate for a change in thinking or behavior concerning a
topic of political, civic, or social importance by persuading the audience to
the specific purpose. Overall requirements for this assignment were to
support the film with substantial amount of research supporting our claims,
and be clear about the persuasive purpose. Since this assignment was in
groups, it allowed me to take into consideration other point of views different
from mine.
What made every assignment similar was the required use of ethos,
pathos, and logos. These differentiated as I decided to research different
topics such as immigration and the ecological footprint. Both being social
issues I decided to analyze literacy in the many different perspectives.
