Writing Assignment:

Reflect on a selected visual image. Make a well-considered and objective point about the image in a short film. Apply the lessons from Chapter 3 of McWhorter's Reflections chapter in clear ways. Quote the part of the text that applies to your observations, critiques, and/or opinions about the impact of the image.

I expect you to use the descriptive and narrative skills you honed in Freshman Composition I (a prerequisite) to present the image to your audience. Use these skills again to precisely point out to at least three important image details that strengthen your discussion. These are three smaller things that make your larger point (e.g., It is great, awful, amusing, distressing, etc.).

Here is something else that I want you to do: Analyze each of the details in the selected image in terms of its appeal to ethos, pathos, logos, or kyrgios, its ability to persuade an audience to do something, think something or react in a certain way.

Step One: View the short film by Abdou Cissé "Slap".

Step Two: Write a short 100-word summary. Challenge: Summarize the plot of the movie without spoiling the ending;

Step Three: Select a key frame or moment in the film and note the timestamp. Select an image from the short that represents the most interesting, amusing, provocative, or unfortunate representation within the short film--apart from the credits. Save the image to a file on your computer. You will share it here--if you know how. Or, if you do not know how to upload it here, save it so that you can share it later in a draft.

Step Four: Write a 100-word visual/auditory description of the scene.

Step Final: Step Final: Compose an original 150-300-word visual analysis paragraph.

Apply the lessons from Chapter 3 of McWhorter's Reflections chapter in clear ways. See Table 3.11 "Guidelines for Writing a Response Paper" for guidance.

Start with a stem: "After viewing the image, I felt _____." Include a brief summary, and present a key reaction. Do not attempt to discuss all of your reactions. Instead choose one key idea, one question the selected image raises, or one issue it explores.

Quote the part of the text that applies to your observations, critiques, and/or opinions about the impact of the image if there is writing involved. Point out at least three important image details that strengthen your discussion. Analyze each detail in terms of one of its appeals, say to to ethos, pathos, logos, or kyrgios.
