In-Class Prompt, Feb. 4th

After a short presentation about how to write a strong response, it is your turn: For Wednesday, Feb. 6th, rewrite your "Why Terrorism" responses, add your re-written summaries to them, and either email the whole essay to me before class, or bring a paper copy to class (no late papers accepted).

For Friday, Feb. 8th, please write the rough drafts of your song responses (cut and paste your re-written summaries in front of them). Email them to yourself, AND bring them on paper. We are going to do peer-editing in class on Friday. No late papers accepted.

In-Class assignment for today:
Look in your light blue textbook (especially p. 48, p. 55, p. 111) for examples of VISUAL ARGUMENTS.

Then, create a visual argument that matches the song you are writing about. You should display PATHOS. You have to use images, and a few lines from your song that you find most important for the song's general message.

Remember to hyperlink all your images and song texts, so the reader can see your sources (otherwise, it would be plagiarism). I will demonstrate how to hyperlink them. (When you've inserted the photos in a word document, right-click, and then click on "insert hyperlink." A window pops up, where you have to type in the URL.) If your hyperlinks don't work for some reason, just copy and paste the URLs, and put them on a different page, and hand them in this way. DON'T write the URLs on your handout, because your audience doesn't want to see them!

If your attachment is not bigger than 500 KB, email it to me. If it is bigger, DON'T email it, but give it to me as a print-out, or on a CD.

If you don't get done in class, it will be homework and is due on Wednesday.
