Why buy our TV?

It’s WASL day! What isn’t fun about this?  We’ll start with, well, its different for 1st and 3rd periods, so…

1st period: Read “Two Family Portraits” and write a short response: What claims about the portraits does the author make and how does he provide evidence to support them? What differing claims would you suggest and what evidence could you use to support them?

3rd period: Go to The Big Picture, the photoblog site for the Boston Globe.  In small groups, choose a picture and prepare to present and analyze the picture for the class using the photography terminology we’ve been using.

Then, we’re on to take a look at chapter 15 in Everything’s an Argument. We’ll read a selection and then I’ll ask you to render a certain part of the chapter into a visual form.

Finally, we’ll look at advertising using Duke U’s Ad*Access. Choose one of the following products from the list below. Look through the archive and choose one to analyze in an individual blog post. Next, I’m hoping we have time to imagine creating an ad for that product.

  • Beauty/Hygiene
  • Televisions
  • Radios
  • Transportation
  • WWII

HW: Immersive Paper due. Quiz on photo terms.
