Modeling the Presentation


After finishing The Queen of Versailles, I would like you and your group members analyze the following elements:


  • Purpose, Audience, Thesis, and Mode
  • Appeals to logos, ethos, and pathos
  • Kairos—new term that means timeliness.  Kairos (KY-ross) is knowing the right time or the most opportune moment to make an argument or present aspects of an argument.
  • Counterargument—this is a specific part of ethos I want you to analyze in your documentary.  Counterargument is how the argument acknowledges, works around, or attacks those who would argue the opposite.
  • Types of Evidence—facts, statistics, personal experience, expert testimony, humor, etc.
  • Visual Style/Tools.  Link to quizlet reference: Documentary film making vocabulary
  • Strengths, Weaknesses, and Fallacies (there will be all three)
If this was your film to present, what three clips from the film would you choose to demonstrate any of the above elements?


We will play with the Google presentation tool to see if you can do a quick dummy of what your presentation will look like for the final.
