Learning Activity - Identifying Rhetorical Styles & Embedding Videos

The goals of this assignment are to 1) become comfortable embedding html encoding into your blog, 2) recognize the three main rhetorical styles, and 3) apply your understanding of the three main rhetorical styles to an example from popular culture. 


To begin, please visit http://www.youtube.com/ and choose a video that demonstrates at least one of the three main rhetorical styles: pathos, ethos, and logos. Using the instructions I provided below, embed your video within a post. Within that same post, please identify the style(s) of rhetoric in the video you chose and provide a brief explanation (8-10 sentences) of how the video utilizes pathos, ethos, or logos.


Note: later in the semester, we will use these videos to further our discussion of rhetorical elements and popular media.
