The Covo Center

          Ohio University takes great pride in their athletics department, I myself live in the convocation center and from what I hear and see it is one of the best places to live as a freshmen. The reason I chose the convocation to do my history project on is because when I walk into the stadium I feel a sense of “wow” seeing all the flags and just of the overall size of the court and seating. I believe that the convocation center has marked its place in the history books even though it is a new building compared to some of the others on campus. The convocation center is a huge part of Ohio University’s basketball program and for first year students looking to fit in. Some of the things I had to think about while doing my project was how I could capture the reader’s attention and how I was going to arrange my power point to give all the info and history I needed to provide.

My target audience was people who love sports and want a nice place to live. I tried to appeal to these people by showing all different aspects of the convocation center. The center may not be that old but it still has a history that OU students should know about. My first decision was to make the background of my power point presentation pictures of the convo. I felt that this would attract my reader’s eye and make him or her want to pay attention to the presentation. After this I had to choose some information to put on the slides, I chose to put the information I saw as the most interesting. The Bob Cats have won 75 % of their home games and is considered to be the best cheering section in the mid-American conference and one of the best in the nation.

          I tried to appeal to ethos, logos, and pathos in my presentation.  I felt I projected my view of the convo on the power point this is how a followed ethos in my presentation. I feel I put my own personality onto the presentation because I live inside the convo and call it my home, I feel like it is a part of me and who I am. I have two sets of friends; the convo friends and the class friends. This is because the convo uses quads and I feel it helps to make more friends. I appealed to logos by putting a lot of information and facts about the convocation center. I had a little trouble finding a lot of history on this building it is relatively new. I felt I applied pathos to my power point by putting in a slide for athletics and a slide for the overall view of the convo. My power point presentation gives slides for a lot of different information and interesting facts about the convo. When I first choose the convo as my history project it was only because I lived there and wanted to know more about its history. I feel I have achieved my goal and found out all the information I needed to see to know about its history.
