Digital Presentation

Multimodal Persuasive Media Requirements

Post a link to your digital project along with a paragraph that describes/reflects on the rhetorical choices you made in remediating your written essay into a digital piece. Your reflection should address how you employ logos, ethos, and pathos, and it should reflect on why you think these choices are the best ones.

Options:

• Websites should contain a minimum of three pages:
• a home page that presents the topic/issue, problem, and why the viewer should care about this problem
• page(s) with logos and pathos appeals
• a clear call to action that includes specific actions that newly engaged stakeholders can realistically perform.
• Websites should contain links to at least one other relevant video (non-static) resource, as well as links to websites of other significant stakeholders in your chosen issue.

• Videos (Windows Movie Maker or iMovie) should include all of the following:
• clear presentation of the topic/issue, problem, and why the viewer should care about this problem
• logos and pathos appeals
• a clear call to action that includes specific actions that newly engaged stakeholders can realistically perform.
• Videos should be 2 minutes minimum to 4 minutes maximum in length.

• All varieties of persuasive media must include proper attribution (citations) for ALL material presented in the remediation.
• Include "credits" for all source material (including images) within your remediation.
• In some cases, this may include the name of the Web source from which the material was taken and a link.
