Go to This Website

Use your knowledge of ethos and pathos, and the "seven" things you need to think about when composing a text (I added more, remember?) to analyze the page. You might choose to focus on one aspect (such as the kinds of audiences or the genre) to make a claim or argument about what the page is doing or how it is doing it. Type up your comments, working together to create at least a paragraph.

Post it to one of your blogs--Mark it as a joint venture. This will not count toward your requirement.
