- As part of the homework for Wednesday, write a 6-8 paragraph description of one the photographs below. Give detail that allows an outside reader to "see" what you see are the key images, AND make sure to, within your description, make inferences to what the image connotes about life Afghanistan. Type these up so that we can check them out on the board.
- If you have not yet read the prompt for Essay 2, make sure to download it from Blackboard Unit 2 and read it.
E-mail me with any questions, and I will do my best to get back to you today or early tomorrow.
Decoding Visual Images: basic steps in integrating visuals into essays
Sensory language – allow reader to taste, smell, hear, feel, and see the place through images that radiate those senses!
Naming things. Be scientific; show your knowledge. (A bird? No, a cerulean warbler! Clear images come from focused word choice.)
Context – place and time (setting), and its impact on those in the image. When and where does the photo's action take place?
Other Elements to Consider Describing:
- Describe physical actions.
- Describe clothes worn.
- Describe any text/speech: quote it!
- Describe the spatial orientation of objects
- What is the main image? Where is the main image?
- What is in the background?
- What are size differences in images?
- etc.
