Claim: "Increasingly, the answer seems to be no. In fact, suspensions may do more harm than good." This claim is about the effectiveness of school suspension. 

Support: 
Statistics are given by the official organization of, US Department of Education, the study talked about the amount and who is usually suspended.

Statistics are given by a personal study about 120 high school level discipline guidelines, comparing and contrasting. ]]> 2018-02-15 14:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/231896210 tracy_moore1 https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/231904876 Source: http://neatoday.org/wp content/uploads/2015/08/all_students_suspension_rates.png

Purpose: Shows the number of kids in the U.S. with multiple suspensions in certain areas. Helps realize how often suspensions are given.

Device: Imagery

Appeal: Logos

When you are given an image with statistics they seem to be more believable rather than just trusting someone's words. Logos for a topic like this is important, because if suspensions were uncommon then it wouldn't really be a big deal to fix it ]]> 2018-02-15 14:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/231904876 tracy_moore1 https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/231908098 Source: https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2014/01/how-to-discipline-students-without-turning-school-into-a-prison/282944/

Reaction: The article helps me realize that there is still discrimination, even in the U.S. Kids are literally getting suspended more often just because of their skin color/ethnicity. Throughout the article statistics were given, they talked about how 50% of arrests in schools are from African Americans alone, meaning that they are more probably than anyone else. With attention being brought to the matter within a year of the article's creation the amount of violent incidents has gone down 90%.]]> 2018-02-15 14:25:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/231908098 tracy_moore1 https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/232319852 Source: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2016/01/28/taking-snapshot-our-regions-homeless/79292398/

Main Idea: Though there a considerable amount of homeless there are many programs created every day to help these kinds of people. These programs help feed, house, and nurture the homeless. 

Support: They gave multiple examples of these programs such as, "End Homelessness of Cincinnati". There are also multiple instances of just normal people helping every once in a while for the homeless. The percentage of homeless that pass at an early age has dramatically decreased as well.]]> 2018-02-16 13:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/232319852 tracy_moore1 https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/232324424 Source: https://cincihomeless.org/about/education/fact-sheet/

Purpose: To give statistics on who is homeless, and what type of situation they are in, whether they are a homeless veteran, child, or even a whole homeless family. 

Device: Parallel Structure ( statistics )

Appeal: Logos

These statistics tied in with parallel structure helps us tie multiple things together. I this case it would tie in other people's scenarios & ethnicities together. Logos is just sometimes the way to go, its crazy just how numbers can change our opinion on something, and seeing over 3.5 million of homeless in the U.S. hit ya hard. ]]> 2018-02-16 14:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/232324424 tracy_moore1 https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/232333517 Source: https://petapixel.com/2017/04/22/photo-essay-homeless-children-streets-kitale-kenya/

Reaction: I just thinks its crazy that part of the younger generation is just neglected. A homeless adult can be do to many things, and those things that brought them their could have been avoided at a higher possibility than these children. These children were born homeless which is out of their control. I thought the various pictures about the "glue boys" helps show that these are still children, and the fact that these kids and stay strong and stick together whereas us housed people can hardly do that, makes me feel that we are wrong for not helping them. ]]> 2018-02-16 14:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/232333517 tracy_moore1 https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/232921585 Source: http://www.kentucky.com/news/state/article194595579.html

Claim: Running faucets to prevent frozen pipe during cold weather is causing a water shortage in counties in Eastern Kentucky

Support: Statistic saying that since 9000 people were doing a continuous flow in their faucet caused the shortage of water because of over using the water plant.

The many complaints given by residents explaining the problem first hand. ]]> 2018-02-19 13:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/232921585 tracy_moore1 https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/232925009 Source: https://www.cnn.com/2016/01/20/health/flint-water-crisis-timeline/index.html

Purpose: To give events that led up to the water problem, and to give someone a quick history if they are not familiar with the topic.

Device: Imagery

Appeal: Pathos

The images make you think about the actual incident along with the information that comes along with each slide. These images are obviously imagery, and the purpose of the images is to get you to think about the problems with water in Flint, Michigan.]]> 2018-02-19 14:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/232925009 tracy_moore1 https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/233258196 Source: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/20/559071028/troubled-by-flint-water-crisis-11-year-old-girl-invents-lead-detecting-device

Reaction: I think it is good that millennials are being involved with a topic that could be only an adult problem. Creating a device to help warn someone that there is the lead in water is a huge deal to the people in Flint, Michigan. If an 11-year-old girl was willing to help, imagine if more adults were willing to help. ]]> 2018-02-20 14:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tracy_moore1/41yhcrhleapy/wish/233258196
