Homework For Monday, 2-10-14

Sorry about the delay in homework assignment. Because we got all distracted by storytelling that had ummm everything to do with writing...I had to re-think what I wanted you to do!

Next up WAS textual analysis, but I switched it up, based on my perception that visual analysis will be something you do more naturally than textual analysis. This coming week we will work on visual analysis. See the Calendar for updated due dates.

Your next assignment is a visual rhetorical analysis (Assignment 2), and the visual you choose for Monday's in-class work will be  the visual you use for your analysis, so choose thoughtfully. Hopefully this piece will also be usable in your future research paper. (So ask yourself if this piece will help you say what you might want to say in your research.)


HOMEWORK DUE BEFORE CLASSTIME MONDAY:

• Find one example of visual communication in your field and post it to your blog. (If it's not electronic you could take a picture of it and post it to your blog.)
•  Write what meaning you think the author is trying to convey, who the audience is, and the exact, small details that give you these impressions. Remember to let your gut instinct lead you, then find and write down evidence that supports it.
• "Read"  (Look at?)  EA “Apples to Oranges” 679-690 
• Be prepared to talk in class about why it might be an example of bad visual communication 

I'm going to bring in some other visuals for us to analyse. Should be a fun day--as it always is with y'all!
