I am doing my CRAAP test for the first cite i used on my paper
Currency: The dates given on the website are 2007-2014. This really wasn't important for my research topic because my topic does not require any up to date information, just information in general.
Relevance: The information on this site does answer my questions. I found some information that was useful to me when I was writing my paper. I feel like the intended audience is people who have questions about the topic maybe for caregivers. I would use this website for research.
Authority: The URL ends with ".com" which isn't the preferred type of site but I found the information to by great.
Accuracy: The information on this site is copy righted by the company. From what I already knew about the topic I can match their information.
Purpose: This site was informative. I feel like its true purpose is to give true factual information.

Blog 3 (Ethos)
My final copy of Paper One has some representation, in one form or another, of ethos, logos and pathos altogether. However, I think that ethos is displayed best of the three.
My paper is best related to ethos because I believe that I have ample credibility to be able to convincingly state an argument on behalf of Doctor Who. I have been watching the show for a long enough time to "understand... what the Doctor is saying or of what in the wide, wide world is going on."(Niemann 2) in each episode.

Ethos
In my essay I used ethos. I included real life examples from my life to help explain the point I was trying to make. "For example, I know a girl who has Bi Ploar Disorder, she will go from happy to crying in no time at all..." This is ethos because I took a real like situation and I applied it to my writing to help me earify my point. The example wasn't about me but because I had associated with the girl I was able to use it as ethos as an experience.

Basically, the only online source that I used was but one. throughout the entire paper, I have drawn from personal experiences. Besides, with a topic like the one I used, there wasn't much to research anyway. On the other hand, I did research two thing. In the paper, I talk a bit about a particular dance known as the Cha Cha, and found an example of modern type music you can dance the Cha Cha to. The questions I looked up: 1) what type of dance is it? and two 2) what are some modern songs with the correct beat for that particular dance?
Relevance:
As I said before, I did a bit of research for two particular questions. The reason for the two questions is that I used them as an example, further detail, and information to the reader.
Purpose:
The purpose of this was certainly to inform, to add detail, that even though this particular dance (The Cha Cha) was introduce around 1959, there's still music out there, modern music, to dance to.

I used the fact that while there are some bad athletes out there who use drugs or party iresponsibly, there ae far to many pro athletes in the world who dont do those things to catagorize that most ahletes in the world are on seroids, are iresponsible, etc. I even said in my paper that i to have been through a point in out lives when we made a mistake hat we probably shouldnt have made, so why do we look down on athletes when they get in trouble? I believe that was an example of pathos, as it asks you to look at yourself before you judge others.

Relevance:The information from my outside source does relate to my topic and it answers a question. The quote from my source talks about cheerleading which is relevant to my paper about cheerleaders, and the quote answers the question of what does it really take to be a cheerleader.
The intended audience are the students and teacher who will be reading my paper assuming that they have very limited knowledge of cheerleaders and cheerleading. The information is appropriate for my paper. The language and sentence structure match the needs of my paper. I did look at several different source before choosing the right one for my paper. i was very comfortable citing this source in my research paper.
Authority: The article I borrowed the quote from was sponsored and published by the American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Adminstrators. The association that published this article is very credible. They are a big association that has a lot to do with cheerleading in America, so they have knowledge of cheerleading a dn cheerleaders. There is contact information for the Association that is presenting the article.
Purpose: The purpose of this information is to inform readers on whether cheerleading is a sport or not. The sponors do make the purpose of the article very clear. A portion of the article is factual information and some of the article is based on the opinion of the association. The point of view does not seem objective or impartial at all. The opinion is based on feedback from other people. The opinion is not a personal biased but rather the opinion of a general group of people.

The persona I attempted creating for my essay on Misconceptions About Ballroom Dancing, was drawn from my own personal experiences. I haven't been in the 'dancing business' for very long, maybe about two and a half years. But in that short amount of time, I have come to find it is a very fun sport, if you will. By creating this paper, I wish it to open individuals eyes on the wonderful idea of ballroom dancing. All it takes, essentially, is for one person to announce an untruthful thing and persuade the minds on many. With this essay, I had hoped to reverse that.
