The task in which I was given was to create a presentation, using Microsoft PowerPoint 2013, to advertise The Redhill Academy. The information given to us was that the presentation was for an adult audience, and that we could not use any of the pre-set templates in the software. To begin with, I decided to create a design for my presentation. I did this as I wanted my presentation to look consistent and professional. I used the Slide Master feature in PowerPoint to create the design as it meant that I could have the same design on all of my information slides, and that I could have a different design for my title page. On the slide master, I used the Master Slide Layout slide to create the main design for my slides. I used red and blue lines, and put these going down the left hand side of my slide, as I thought that it looked simple, yet effective and made the presentation look professional. I used the colours red and blue as they are the same as in the Redhill logo, and I wanted my presentation’s colour scheme to link to the topic of it. Furthermore, the Redhill Academy has two ‘outstanding’ Ofsted reports. I put these at the top, as I know that the audience read from the top to the bottom of a section of information, and they will see the Ofsted logo first, as it is at the top and is eye-catching. At first, I decided to put the images in the bottom right hand corner of the slide, however I did not believe that it looked as professional as it does on the top of the slide.…

Services at Rivers Chapel United Methodist Church. The first commentary dealt with the “Word and Table Service” (January 3, 2016). The second commentary deals with January 10, 2016 service on Baptism. The January 3, 2016 Worship Service Program follows the 2016 (Year C) Lectionary Calendar found on the internet. The program not only gave the order of service, it also provided information concerning what period of the Christian year we were worshipping in. On the program, we introduced the…

The final rhetorical persuasive technique used is the logos. The logos technique advises you with facts about the reverse mortgage benefits. This entices a consumer by stating government insured and regulated with no taxes and no payments to call for the brochure. The NO monthly mortgage payments have a double asterisk, which is the fine print or details, which are briefly shown at the end of the advertisement. If you are 62 or older and own your home, you are eligible for this product from…

America: the land of opportunity and the land of the free*. This phrase seems to have always come with an unspoken asterisk. For centuries it was understood to be the land of plent and the land of the free… as long as you’re not a minority. Today, in the 21st century, the asterisk is losing most of its power and validity, but in the regions of the Black Belt, the asterisk still looms over the land. It is too often forgotten how much of the Black Belt’s “land of freedom” was built on the backs of…

emphasis on her words. For example, she writes, “You’ll be dead again tomorrow. The Erebus I kept you in -- still, trying --” She uses the dashes to make the pauses in between the words longer, but also breaking them off abruptly. By using the dashes she adds length to the sentence, and adds emphasis on the words “still” and “trying.” Which makes me feel the darkness in the words she writes, as if she is still trying to sleep, still trying to move on, still trying to accept her mother’s death.…

In large, all capital, bold letters the ad reads, “EXTRAORDINARY VOLUME FEELS LIKE 2X MORE HAIR.” The ad claims that the audience with look like they will have twice as much hair than they actually do. How could a woman who does not like how thin their hair is not be immediately drawn in and intrigued? Just after the word “hair” there is a very tiny asterisk that can be very easily missed. The asterisk goes down to the bottom, to the fine print, and reads, “Based on consumer study.” So the…

Barry Bonds (Noun) holds the single-season Homerun record. A-Rod has over 3,000 hits and is a 14-time All Star. David Ortiz is a 3-time world series champ. Jose Canseco is the first player to hit the 40-40 mark. (Simple Sentence) 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in (prepositional) a single season. Ivan Rodriguez has the most home runs as a catcher. All of these MLB players have an asterisk next to their name on the lineup card. The asterisk does not mean that they are an all star; it means that…

The wicked problems of society are exacerbated by transportation modes, or lack thereof. As developers gentrified, revitalized neighborhoods and higher rent segregated residents from one another based on income, and resultantly, race. Lower income, minority families searching for affordable housing must move further into the suburbs, and further from the epicenter of a city, where most people work. These families are now dependent upon private transportation and are responsible for incurring…

Alex Rodriguez played for a team that you either hate or love or hate— the Yankees. In 2009 he helped led them to his first and only World Series Championship. While Alex Rodriguez is not the leader of career home runs, he is close, as he is in forth all time, and still is playing. Most likely he will not catch him as the career leader with an asterisk next to it. Even though his achievements are not quite as amazing his case is a bigger than Barry Bonds because of the era he is living in.…
