Well, TGIF.... it was an INTERESTING day!!
We started with a warm-up of ethos, pathos, and logos in which you had to design an advertisement about yourself or a product you care about using all three persuasive appeals. This goes on p. 27 in your notebook.
We then discussed documentary films - what are they? what are their purpose? what types of strategies do filmmakers use to persuade us or make us buy into their argument? Please view the notes if you missed them and need to catch up.
We then watched part of the documentary "God Grew Tired of Us," which is about the Lost Boys of Sudan. Due to technology difficulties, 1st block only saw a few minutes, 2nd block saw about 30 minutes, and 3rd block saw about 45 minutes. We will finish viewing this valuable film on Monday! Please come in ready to begin.
Projects were due today.... but a LOT of you have yet to turn them in. Those who turned them in today will be rewarded. Those who bring them in first thing Monday will not be penalized. Beyond that, please remember that PHS policy is to lose 10% per day.
