FINAL PROJECT:Structures and Arguments > A Guide to the Updated CPR protocol

Beginning: hook audience with an interesting case in which a patient required CPR, and the CPR saved their life. Then inform the readers of the importance of CPR and how their ability to master the life saving skill could be of use at any moment in their lives.

Middle: Teach the reader how to perform CPR for adults and kids by demonstrating the steps established by the American Redcross and the American Heart Association.

End: Finish off by stating the importance of CPR, and directing the readers to services, such as the American Redcross, in order to sign up for CPR classes to receive certification. I will also send the readers to the American Heart Association website in order to receive more information about CPR and about more cases in which CPR was performed.

Logos: Facts on CPR success rates, the percentage of CPR trained individuals in different areas, and the survival rates after CPR. Also additional facts on heart disease.

Pathos: Anyone that you know can be affected by either a heart attack, heart failure, or some heart condition in which they need CPR to stay alive. You as a student can be that person to save them and give them a second chance at life.

Ethos: Information derived from the American Redcross, which is the certified organization for CPR certification.

Structure: What to know and how to do. Will have a prose section and then directions for two sets of CPR: one for adults, and one for children.

Goal: this document will teach the readers about the importance of CPR, the prevalence of heart conditions that require out-of-hospital resuscitation, how to perform CPR in different settings, and finally resources to reach out to to get more information on certifcation.

C, remind me of your audience for this guide. You could change the framing a bit, depending on the age and other aspects. Is this for campus?

Youth group?

I think you took the training on campus, right? Could this document be a guide for next year or a follow up on that activity in ILS?

Looks like a great plan, though.
