Proposing with Pom Poms

• Making Cheerleading a definite sport is my topic
• My audience is NCAA, ESPN and local Newspapers or Media
• My purpose is to give Cheerleeaders a voice and to make it known that what we do isnt a hobby, it is a sport. We need to be recognized and appreciated.
• I have authority for this topic because I have been Cheerleading since I was 7, so that makes 9 years. We do so much and its about time we get some recognition!
• I want to write a letter but I also think that making a bumper sticker would also be effective because everyone is going to see it.
• My claims are the how everything we do is just like every other sport; we have competitions, we compete with other teams, we have ranks and divisions and to top it off, some competitions are showed on ESPN. Cheerleading is more than just cheering on other sports, its about what happens on the mat and what we bring there.
• I want my end result to be that Cheerleading does get taken seriously and it becomes a sport. I'm not saying that it will happen but it will be worth a try.
• I think if I appeal to pathos, ethos and logos it will be more effective. I can use emotion to sympathize with my audience, logic to point out all the difficulty things that Cheerleaders do and ethos by using my long term experiences with Cheerleading to hook the audience
• I dont know about my rhetorical devices but I will use a lot of parallel structure and diction and tons of other things
• I think the NCAA and ESPN will be interested but it depends on how strong my argument is and as for local newspaper and media, they might take my story but I must give it my all.
