Goal
Students will examine a visual text, interpret its meaning, and develop
an argument in which their ideas about the image are developed and
supported by
material in the essays they have read. The purpose of this assignment is
to further develop students' analytical skills by considering different
types of texts in conjunction.
Requirements
At least four readings from the text, one rhetorical strategy, one
stylistic concept, one research concept, at least one grammar concept.
Paper length: 2-3 pages, 500-750 words.

a powerful image") to analyze what it means, in part through the ideas
about image in The Presence of Others readings.
- ....
Challenges for students
