The Three Appeals

The word manipulation.

We look at this. Do you agree with this? Thinkwrite.

What are the three rhetorical appeals? See handout.

Why should we be aware of this? Well..... (Godwin's Law)

Now you have time to take notes or ask questions about your ad and the design features on the back of the assignment sheet.

2. Draft #1 due Friday.

3. TWFTD: allusive ( in the OED)

Writing About Images

First of all, you watch a video about rules of composition.

Now you will practice thinking about some of this.  Look at the pictures on pages 134-136 in Bedford.  Open your daybook to a two page spread. 

On the left-most side, create a list of bolded items from the checklist on the back of your assignment sheet.  Then across the top label a spot for each of the pictures: Sudan, Guatemala, U.S. 

Create columns of analysis for each picture. Comment about each photo in each row.

Homework:

1.  Nail down your image choices and bring them to class tomorrow. Begin making notes about your ads using the checklist. You must have ONE PAGE OF NOTES about your ads in the daybook.

2. TWFTD:  propaganda in the OED

Visual Rhetoric

Look back through your daybook and find the definition of rhetoric.  If you can't, look it up.  Everyone write it down again. 

Let's make a list:  what makes writing effective?

Now.  Read pages 285-286 in Bedford.

Look at "The Fall of Icarus" on my desktop.  What makes an image effective?  Then you look at this photo.

I hand out the assignment sheet for this paper.



Read pages 286-300 in The Bedford Guide.  In your daybook, make a re-visualization of the graphic on page 286.


Homework:

1.  Start looking for two ads that you will be able to write about, one a success, the other a failure.  Look either in magazines or online.


2.  Finish reading pages 286-300 in The Bedford Guide. Draw a version of the graphic on page 286 in your daybook (be creative!).

3.  TWFTD: manipulate  in the OED
