Visual Assignments

For these assignments, you will create a poster that represents your topic for Essay 3 (argument essay) and the specific position you argue there. You should use both visual and written information to give the class (your audience) a clear idea of the topic you are dealing with and the specific point you are making about it.

Project elements and due dates

On Thursday, December 8 Unit III teams from both sections will present proposals for a reality TV show reflecting the team’s vision of the future of romance. Teams will develop a poster and supporting documents such as a brochure or handout.

For this assignment you will document a local event and present a textual and visual record of that event to a public audience. You will initially work in a group to identify a significant communication event occurring on campus or in the local area during a one-month period. As a group you will decide how best to preserve the event through various artifacts (video, audio, interviews, published accounts, news articles, etc.). Your group will submit a formal proposal outlining the project and your methods for collecting data that will accurately represent the event.
