Standard Operating Procedure

The plan is to watch Errol Morris’s documentary on Abu Ghraib while I talk to individual students about their grades.  I’ll ask for a writing assignment to go along with the movie (due the Friday we get back… April 10th)

Using the set of film vocabulary I provided, explain how Morris uses the documentary medium for rhetorical purposes.  What are the major claims Morris wants to put forth? How does he use interviews, images, camera movement, music, and voice overs to persuade his audience?  What worked and what didn’t. 400-500 words
