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?
*******​
6. Work Time Options
  • Submit PART 2 project proposal (by the end of class tomorrow)
  • visual piece project proposal 
  • Option 2 project proposal
  • Conference with Ashley  about Option #2
  • Make a list of the supplies that you would need to work on your project and bring them in!
  • Read Ashley's feedback on your op-ed if you submitted it before Thanksgiving and begin refining.
