READING: We will cover Envision2.pdf (assigned last week) in class tomorrow. During Thursday's session, we will read Envision3.pdf, which has been uploaded to Blackboard for your amusement & consumption. If you would like further information concerning rhetoric, I would like to direct you to Envision's web site; you can find it right here.
WRITING: For this week's first writing assignment, I would like you to find a television commercial on Youtube & write a 300 word observation on it. Remember, you should include not just what you see, but what you hear as well. DO NOT over look elements that you believe to be minor. Try to capture every perceptual aspect of the clip. As part of this assignment, you will be asked to embed the commercial into your post & include at least 2 relevant hyperlinks. DUE: Wednesday, March 12th @ midnight.
For your second writing assignment of the week, you will write a 300 analysis of the rhetorical strategies contained within your video. In addition to mentioning them, explain how they are used by providing SPECIFIC examples as evidence. We will discuss rhetorical strategies in class tomorrow, so don't freak out if you don't know what that means (Read Envision2.pdf, page 31 for more information). DUE: Sunday, March 16th @ midnight.
PS: As a matter of keeping you all informed, I will be adding some of the reference material we discussed on Thursday to blog over break. Additionally, I will make a post sometime over break that contains links to a rhetorical analysis or 2 written by past students. Finally, extra credit assignments for the Ben Marcus event are due Thursday, & the Clean Part Reading extra credit is due Saturday.
