Agenda
Today's Goals:

• Evaluate a few political campaign visual piece examples

• Understand how to use visual rhetoric in a provocative and persuasive way
• Brainstorm ideas for PART 2 of your Morality and Politics of Justice project

*****
1. Mini-lesson on political campaign visual pieces

A) Look at the student example political campaign posters (below) and answer these questions for each one:

• What is their issue?
• What is the artist's perspective on the issue?
• Which 2 of the 3 Aristotelian appeals did they integrate in their poster? (ethos, pathos, logos)

B) Watch the video example and read artist statement: http://hannajuniordp.weebly.com/humanities.html

2. Take notes on the Visual Rhetoric Powerpoint (slides 54-end)

3. Go over Part 2 project checklists (page 3)

• One possible direction for option 2: Raise awareness at school, solicit student reactions

*********
4. PART 2, Option 2 project brainstorm!
Guiding question: What are possible ways you/your classmates could contribute to a more just society?

• 5 minutes: Individual brainstorm on sticky notes
• 10 minutes: Group brainstorm (add your ideas to the white board, build on other people's ideas!)

5. Honing YOUR project idea
If you are going to do Option #1: Political campaign visual piece:

• Write your thesis on the top of the paper
• For the next 10 minutes, draw or write as many ideas as possible to best capture your perspective and ask yourself the following questions:

1. Does my idea capture my main perspective in my op-ed?
2. Does my visual piece idea express ethos, pathos and/or logos (must express TWO)
3. Do I have a plan for integrating a philosopher's quote?
4. Do the images or parts of my visual piece seem to be arranged strategically and artistically?
5. Will it be professional in appearance?

• Swap papers with a classmate-- read their thesis statement and give feedback to 2 of the ideas that stand out the most to you. What suggestions can you make? What other ideas would you add

If you are going to do Option #2:

• Write your thesis on the top of the paper
• Take one of the ideas from our brainstorm and flesh it out! 
• Get feedback from a classmate!  How can you ramp it up?
