Premium Writing

In this task, you will work to answer the following essential question: How can a novel’s comment on the human experience be communicated through an artistic medium? Using one of our focus texts from this school year (The Book Thief, The Importance of Being Earnest, OR Of Beetles and Angels) you will creatively demonstrate the connection between a thematic idea in the work and the literary elements that contribute to it (e.g., characterization, setting, symbolism).

While you are working on this assignment, keep in mind that you are looking for what the author is saying about the human experience (theme) and what tools he uses to convey that idea. Once you’ve finished reading Of Beetles and Angels this cycle, you will select your favorite text and begin this task where you are asked to consider the theme and literary elements and create a piece of art that demonstrates that theme through literary elements such as characterization, setting, and symbolism.

TASK 1: You will create a visual product that expresses your analysis, argument, and/or point of view. Select a format for your visual product that will best allow you to communicate your argument and conclusions. Formats could include a painting, poster, picture book, a decorated box with sides representing various components of analysis, a mask that is decorated/painted to symbolize certain aspects of the novel, etc.

INSTRUCTIONS: Create a visual product using the instructions provided above. Then, submit a video (tangible piece of art) or screencast (digital piece of art) providing a brief explanation of your piece of artwork and how it illustrates theme and literary elements (such as characterization, setting, symbolism, etc.) from your chosen focus text.

TASK 2: You will then write an artistic statement to accompany your visual that clearly and effectively supports the analysis of theme(s) presented in the product. The artistic statement should clearly explain the innovative decisions that have shaped the design and provide convincing evidence from the text in support of the thesis. The artistic statement should be double spaced and approximately 600-700 words.

Visual Analysis
Overview
For this assignment, you will examine a visual argument of your choice. Your essay will explain
the visual argument’s message, purpose, and the multimodal techniques used to express that
message before providing an analysis of how effectively your chosen visual accomplishes these
goals. This assignment is an analysis. An analysis involves breaking something down,
examining its parts, and figuring out how it works. In doing this analysis, you’ll become more
aware of the subtle rhetorical strategies that composers use to sway their audiences.

Outcomes
● Critically interpret and analyze texts from multiple discourse communities
● Evaluate the affordances and constraints of different multimodal genres and rhetorical
strategies for specific communication purposes
Summary
● Length of assignment: 900–1100 words (3–4 typed, double-spaced pages)
● Grading: I will evaluate your project based on the following criteria (see the Rubric and
Guidelines for more details):
o Visual Source Selection: Is your visual-of-choice appropriate for the
assignment? Will you be able to engage with an analysis of this piece
meaningfully within the word count?
o Organization: Do you clearly divide your essay by sections? Are your sections
presented in an easy-to-follow sequence?
o Context: Do you provide readers background information (year, genre, location,
etc.) about and vivid description of your visual? Your readers should be able to
follow your analysis without needing to have your visual in front of them.
o Analysis: Do you move beyond explaining what’s happening in your visual,
instead focusing on the choices made by the creators and the intended effect of
those choices? Is your process logical and explicitly presented/defended?
o Style: Is the writing concise and clear? Does it show sentence variety and
authorial voice? Are there minimal issues of spelling, grammar, usage, and
punctuation?

Guidelines
Here are some questions to guide your analysis:
• What is purpose of the visual artifact / composition? Is it purely to entertain, to tell a story, to
make an argument, to evoke an emotion, to convince you of something, to convince you to
do something, or something else entirely?
• What is the context for this visual? What point is it making or what story is it telling? Never
assume your audience knows what your visual is, so background information is going to be
necessary. This question speaks to the visual’s logic. The purpose plus the context come
together to create the reason for creating the visual. Here you might also consider the
creator of the visual and how it has been used by its creator.
• What evidence supports your analysis, i.e. colors, fonts, shapes, framing/layout, movement,
hidden details? You may have to do some outside research. Here you might focus on the
supports your analysis, i.e. colors, fonts, shapes, framing/layout, movement,
hidden details? You may have to do some outside research. Here you might focus on the
emotions these details evoke in you as the audience. How do they make you feel and how
does that serve the purpose you identified above?
• How do you better understand the parts of this visual after analysis?
• What terms do you need to define for your audience to understand your analysis of this
visual?
• How, specifically, can this text be criticized or praised, based on your understanding of the
visual’s goals and use of rhetorical strategies?
Cover Letter / Project Reflection
As a final step, please create a cover letter (approx. 500 words) reflecting on your answers to
these questions:
• What was your process like for writing your paper? How did you approach your writing
for this project?
• What stages of drafting did you move through and why?
• What are the conventions of the genre you’re writing in?
• Compared to other genres of writing you’re familiar with, how did the genre conventions
for this piece challenge you or change you as a writer? And why?

Remember that your Argument Essay will reflect your own research (not the research of anyone else in your group).

This will be the culmination of all of your research. Remember that you MUST advocate for change and create solutions for the issue at hand. Here’s how it will be graded:

– Have you integrated your primary research used to learn more about your topic?
– Have you provided enough evidence to flesh out each main point that you want to make?
– Do the five or more body paragraphs support the thesis, yet offer different pieces of evidence?
– Do you have a minimum of 6 outside sources (at least 2 of which are journal sources)?
– Have you included your own primary research?
– Is the paper a minimum of 5 full pages of text + 1 Works Cited Page, but not more than 10 pages of text + 1 Works Cited page?

– Are you using a level of language appropriate to those in the academic community?
– Have you avoided spelling, punctuation and grammar errors throughout?

Source Integration and Supporting Evidence (10 PTS.)

This is how effectively you used the source materials listed in your Works Cited page within your paper. I’m specifically looking for:

How you integrated parenthetical (in-text) citations into your essay
Whether quotes, paraphrases or summaries were well chosen

I have to write a critical review essay on Martin Luther King Jr’s Speech “I Have a Dream”. Primary and secondary sources are required. Instructor stated not to have a title page.

Conflict theorists would tell us that “the law is a vehicle for enforcing a particular moral philosophy” (just as is the case with other controversial issues such as the legalization of marijuana or the legalization of abortions). You are encouraged to share your opinions on this topic in this forum. Keep in mind that in Summer 2015, the Supreme Court upheld homosexual marriage rights, and this has led to many reactions across the country, some positive and some negative. You are free to discuss either or both viewpoints, as long as you do so thoughtfully and constructively.

HAVE TO HAVE READ WORLD OF WONDERS.

In 450-500 words, discuss how her story-telling approach and the inclusion of the drawings affect your understanding of her story and any of the above (this might be how she uses vivid language, or how she intersperses stories with information, or how the images help convey meaning.) What is one thing that stands out about her approach for you?

Finally, what do you think are her largest take-aways she wants to leave you with?

• All papers must be in Times Roman 12, one-sided and pages numbered.
• In terms of format, you must consult the APA Style Manual or the Chicago Manual of Style in preparing your group project paper.
• A list of references and in-text citations and/or footnotes should be incorporated in the group project paper.

Discuss the issues that were presented in the TWO “Documenting Hate” films. What has fueled the growth of these problems in the 21st century? Can you list other significant events that have occurred in the past decade similar to this? What can be done to effectively address these social problems? Both segments of the films need to be discussed in separate paragraphs.
