Support: Cincinnati and Hamilton County still have a higher percentage of children living in poverty than they did just six years ago
Support: This is a huge challenge that we’re facing as a region, a county and a city that we have to take head on
Support 2: United Way announced earlier this year that the organization would be investing the bulk of its money in efforts and organizations to reduce child poverty. 
Evidence: Graphs, quotes, statistics, and comparisons between the Greater Cincinnati and Hamilton county]]> 2018-02-16 16:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/232402762 alyssa_land https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/233825778 A) Purpose: The article is informing readers on what the state of Kentucky is doing to ensure none of its children go hungry.

C) Ethos- gives facts from professionals who know about the hunger in Kentucky and have conducted the research to provide the said facts.

D) By using positive and negative connotation the author had to show both sides of the argument how much progress is being made for the hunger gap in Kentucky.

I connected with the fact that fast food and junk food are cheaper than healthier options because when my dad and mom got divorced all my dad could afford was junk food. I want to know what the government is doing to help stop this and possibly helping people on food stamps and welfare.]]> 2018-02-22 16:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234314753 alyssa_land https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234348815 This is such an important lesson that Pink taught to her daughter. It surprised me how many artists were androgynous as Pink said and how she made an entire PowerPoint presentation on how you can be beautiful by being yourself. I now understand how gender stereotypes can ruin someone's self confidence.]]> 2018-02-22 17:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234348815 alyssa_land https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234349170 A) Purpose: inform people about the women in this years winters Olympics and what the details are surrounding it.
B) Rhetorical Device: Tone- the author uses tone to convey a sense of urgency in talking about how important it is for women to be better represented in sports and in life in general especially among all the things happening today.

C) Appeal: Pathos

D)the author uses tone to convey a sense of urgency in talking about how important it is for women to be better represented in sports and in life in general especially among all the things happening today. The author also uses inspirational quotes from the athletes on how we can do better at achieving gender equality in the world.]]> 2018-02-22 17:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234349170 alyssa_land https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234349823 Claim: We don’t have as much of an influence on these trajectories as we might like—peers and culture are more powerful—but parents certainly can take steps, even with toddlers and preschoolers, to ensure that their kids grow up less sexist and more egalitarian than our culture tells them to be.

Support 1: It’s helpful to understand how kids develop an understanding of gender and its importance.

Support 2: As kids start to build these gender stereotypes, they start conforming to them, too—in part because they are rewarded for doing so.

Evidence used: The article talks about different studies done by psychiatrists and research done through general observations.]]> 2018-02-22 17:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234349823 alyssa_land https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234354735 It surprised me how strong of a drug fentanyl is, and just how quickly it has become popular and how widespread it is. I am glad something is being done about it with "The Heroin Bill"]]> 2018-02-22 17:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234354735 alyssa_land https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234354995 Purpose: Inform readers just how strong and dangerous of a drug Fentanyl is and how it is affecting our area.

Rhetorical device: repetition

Appeal: Pathos

The article repeatedly talks about how the officer was injured, his current condition and the risks of fentanyl. Which of course anyone hearing about how dangerous it is will feel some kind of emotional response.]]> 2018-02-22 17:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234354995 alyssa_land https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234355441 Claims: Drugs interact with the brain and body to alter moods, emotions, and behaviors by changing brain chemistry and a person’s perceptions, and by impacting how individuals interact with the world around them.

Support 1:  Levels of some of the brain’s chemical messengers, or neurotransmitters, are also impacted by drug abuse

Support 2: The more often drugs are used, the more they will impact brain chemicals and circuitry, which can lead to drug dependence and withdrawal symptoms when the drugs process out of the body. 

Evidence: The article talks about how different parts of the brain respond to drugs and then gives evidence on how certain drugs effect the human body.]]> 2018-02-22 17:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/alyssa_land/s8dv83j1dz79/wish/234355441
