    Subway uses famous athletes to try and persuade you to come and get their food. They also use words like "Turkeytopia" or "Turkey Heaven" to make you think that they are the best!

    It also has situated ethos by using well known athletes speaking for Subway.

    This make up commercial uses situated ethos by having Carrie Underwood presenting their product. It also applies to pathos by saying "it use to take me forever", "intense eye color" and "simpler" showing the audience that a smokey eye isn't as hard or time consuming to apply as it use to be.

    This is very funny and also very truthful reworking of Coldplay's hit song "Viva La Vida" with new lyrics. It mainly focuses on why finding research on the web is not as useful as using libraries.

    This is real silly, but it did help me understand the concept of information literacy better.

    The definition of an information literate person extends beyond school and application to academic problems--such as writing a research paper--and reaches right into the workplace. Information literacy is also important to effective and enlightened citizenry, and has implications that can impact the lives of many people around the globe.

The Information Cycle - 1 views

I think this video does a creative way of enlightening on the concept of the information cycle. It talks about the cycle in which information is available & the importance of time.

    Competitive researchers and scientists take it too far sometimes and make a claim based on little or fragmented evidence after a tiny sample of the population is tested. Many of these claims are being proven false.

    Information literacy skills are used for academic purposes, such as research papers and group presentations. They're used on the job-the ability to find, evaluate, use and share information is an essential skill. This is the website all about information literacy.

    This site provides what information literacy is, why it's important and how to use it. There are also some helpful links here too.

    Purdue OWL is always a site I visit when I have questions about writing. It is also super helpful when I have questions about citations. Here is "Writing a Research Paper." It may come in handy during this segment.

    I use this site often for research papers considering it is usually the expressed form to write a research paper in. It helps my writing go more smoothly and flow better in text.

    This is what happens when someone decides to skew their evidence or research findings a little bit. Not a pretty sight. I am sure we wont be sent to court but it is important to keep out findings as they are and not skew them.

    I found this really interesting article from the Washington Post that takes the recent issue of the "thigh gap" with female teenagers these days and what it could mean for their future. I'll definitely be using this as a source for my paper on the pro-anorexia subculture, and since it's a relevant topic in social media these days, you should take a look too!

    For my segment four project, I am creating a powerpoint presentation. This presentation is intended for me being the teacher and the audience being high school students, as I am educating them about the Amish lifestyle. This source is more specific for teachers and talks about what students like or dislike about teacher's powerpoints. Although directed to teachers, it would be helpful to anyone making a powerpoint.
