Blog Post #5: Visual Essay

DUE TUESDAY, APRIL 27TH!!!

Your task this week will be to create a visual essay surrounding a relevant THEME in your choice novel!

My reasoning is this:
"Visual arguments are an important part of perceptual understanding in today’s world. Literary arguments are not longer the only form of arguments. Now, visual arguments are extremely effective methods of conveying a point to an audience" (Associated Content, 2006).

Here's how to do it:

check out AN EXAMPLE of mine from college here!

1. Include the theme/ "beefy" word/ lesson learned as your title.
2. Insert a definition of the word below the word (including citation)
3. Select a number of images (between FOUR and TEN) to demonstrate your knowledge of your chosen word. These can be literal or metaphoric interpretations.... the sky's the limit!
4. Each picture must represent a different aspect of the word .... at least ONE image must be from your novel itself, and at least ONE image must be from the present day/your own life. However, feel free to do any combination of the two (or anything in-between!) As long as there is some sort of SPAN through time from WWII to today, you'll be great!
5. BELOW the images, I want you to include a 2 sentence MINIMUM description of each photo and how it is a representation of your image!
6. Be sure to include CITATIONS and SOURCES for each image, either below the image itself or in the description below.

Happy blogging!

Ms. Kubsch, I am writing my script right now for my imovie and it is going fairly smoothly. Other than the fact that I am just having a hard time holding in my emotions. When it comes time to record it I was wondering if I could maybe have someone else speak it so that I don't have to keep stoping and starting mine...? Or maybe if I could just do the 5 paragraph thing that you were talking about...? Because I thought I would be able to do this and be able to talk about it but it is alot harder than I thought it would be, now that I am doing it...
Thanks, Sarah
