Preface

                        My group chose to focus our website on Dodger stadium and Chavez Ravine. We used our techniques to inform as well as persuade anyone affected by the construction of Dodger Stadium. We chose to pick the side of the Dodger stadium and represent them. Along the with persuasion we used ethos, logos and pathos in our website.

                        For this web project we had to de-familiarize Dodger stadium. We all had to become non Dodger fans and advocate without being one sided. We used pathos for the sympathy and emotions towards the people from Chavez Ravine. We wanted to make sure that we showed how we felt and our concerns about what happen.  We also used emotion to apologize for what happen and the building of dodger stadium. 

            Chavez Ravine was once the home of many Hispanics. It was the playground of children the history of families and the home of all of them. They were promised better days, money and better homes. There were people who were up for it while others refused to leave. To this day there are people who have not received their money of compensation.

            For Pathos we used our sympathy for the people of Chavez Ravine. We support the building of Dodger stadium. We show pathos because although we support the stadium we feel for the people who lost their homes. I would personally  be angry as well as devastated to be take away from a place I call my home. All for the benefit of the city and population. Along with the sympathy for the Chavez Ravine people we also used pathos for the Dodger fans as well as to convince people to become Dodger fans. We used put up pictures as well as videos in order to convince and entertain people.

            Our credentials in the website are facts that we listed. Magic Johnson is a former Laker player and now the current owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Other credentials would be the scholarships as well as funding’s the dodgers give. We put this in our website making sure we advertise Dodgers ethos. Along with their ethos we added our own credentials. We showed that we are college students adding out college email to our web page. This was for concerns as well as questions comments or anything else they would like to communicate.

            Our message is to convince people who were affected by Chavez ravine to forgive and see the benefits Dodgers did bring. We showed what the stadium has to offer.  Along with that we advocate the benefits of having the stadium. We showed how there is entertainment and how much spirit it bring to the city and people.

            Our methods was to lure people in with advertisement. Showcasing how much fun and how great the stadium is. We showed pictures of people enjoying the game and how much spirit it brings in. we also showed videos of the fans and how much fun and joy they bring and have while at the stadium. From personal experience attending a game I didn’t really watch the game because I was busy with the environment. It was a fun and joyful environment. The atmospheric was filled with people who loved to be around each other and feed off each other’s good vibes.

                After our first two meetings we continue with the contact and kept throwing ideas to each other. We last met on the Monday before presentations. We were unfortunately unable to get a study room but as determined students we sat in the second floor hall where the study rooms are located. To me I saw this as dedication. I was fascinated that my fellow peers where this enthusiastic as well as motivated that they made this into our meeting site. We sat there and tried to keep our voices at a moderate tone. We discussed what we needed to add as well as edit. We reviewed our page for minor glitches and assigned final detail to each other. We then had to go about our day. We kept in contact through Facebook to notify and help each other. We used Facebook as our communication and there is where we contacted each other be for questions, sending images, suggestion and other details. We spoke agreed used it as well to agree on meeting times. I like the fact that we used a social network to communicate with each other so no one could say they weren’t notified when they are always log into their social network. I believe this project web was a great idea. I was able to work with others and learn to manage a website. Along with this I learned a lot from my fellow peers. I was able to learn special skills they have as well as their interest. I would have not imagined the things they did if I had not gotten to know them better.

                After the first day we established our groups we decided to meet on Thursday. We met in the library in a study room. We sat down pitched ideas and all had our ideas floating around. We focused on what we wanted and our views. I believe it was a convenient meeting at the library. We got the chance to listen to others feeling as well as thoughts. We decided we all agreed on the balding of dodger stadium was a great idea. We advanced from there. We all did our proposal and we had our ideas wrong. We were making our website seem more like a dodger advertisement and less advocating. We sat around when our papers where given and suggested ways in order to fix it. The advice professor gave us helped us and brought new ideas to us. We became determine to do above and beyond well in our assignment. We discussed what improvements and changes we had to do since we first met. We decided that we needed more information on what benefits Dodger stadium brought. We also decided we didn’t want to be so boring therefore we added some entertainment to our page to lure people in. our reason for the webpage is to attract people who are against as well as people who were affected by the Dodger stadium building.
