As you remember, I had to end class a half hour early in order to get your videos uploaded in our lab, and because I truly want you all to benefit as much as possible from our designated three-hour session, I want you to spend no more than 30 minutes on the following:
1. find a short speech (on youtube, from a news site, wherever); this can be from a movie or from real-life
2. explain how the speaker does or does not display credibility (ethos). this should be done in bullet points--don't write a big explanation, just state the facts.
A sample post might look like this:
"David Hasselhoff in 'Dodgeball'" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgRJjLkYApI)
-speaks with authority (stern tone, strong eye contact)
-references his celebrity status (holds up framed picture of himself)
And that's it!!!!!!!! You're done! Leave your response in the comments section and enjoy everyone's selections. : )
