Publishing Project 3

"Myrtle Snow AHS" by Zayla Crocker

In this post I post my final project : Why the U.S is making a Mistake in Hating on China's AIIB

Target audience currently stands on the issue (before reading/watching/hearing your argument) below:

←----------------------------------------------------|----X----------------------------------------------------->

Strongly                                            Totally neutral                                                    Strongly

agree             
                                                                                                             disagree

  Target audience should be (after they've read/watched/heard your argument) below:

←-----------------X-----------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------->

Strongly                                            Totally neutral                                                    Strongly

agree                                                                                                                          disagree

3. Check one (and only one) of the argument types below for your public argument:

           
 ____X___ My public argument openly refutes a specific solution or policy under debate (and clearly identifies the idea I'm refuting).

4.  explain how your public argument doesn’t simply restate information from other sources, but provides original context and insight into the situation:  

 Rather than restating other sources my argument questions the sensibility of the decisions made by the U.S by providing examples and reasons as to why I feel the way I do and even going as far as explaining what would have been a better option.

5. Identify the specific rhetorical appeals you believe you've employed in your public argument below:

Ethical or credibility-establishing appeals

               

___X__ Referring to credible sources (established journalism, credentialed experts, etc.)

  __X___ Employing carefully chosen key words or phrases that demonstrate you are credible (proper terminology, strong but clear vocabulary, etc.)

___X__ Adopting a tone that is inviting and trustworthy rather than distancing or alienating

___X__ Arranging visual elements properly (not employing watermarked images, cropping images carefully, avoiding sloppy presentation)                    

_   X___ Sharing any personal expertise you may possess about the subject (your identity as a student in your discipline affords you some authority here)

 __X___ Openly acknowledging counterarguments and refuting them intelligently

                    Emotional appeals

      
 __X__ Employing the repetition of key words or phrases that create an appropriate emotional impact

 __X__ Appropriate use of humor for subject matter, platform/website, audience

 __X__ Employing an engaging and appropriate tone of voice for the debate

           

Logical or rational appeals

  X__ Using statistics from credible sources in order to establish precedents, trends, or patterns

_X__ Using expert opinions that help affirm your stance or position
 X__ Effective organization of elements, images, text, etc
