Subject and object questions
The document discusses different types of questions in English, specifically object and subject questions. Object questions use auxiliary verbs like "do", "does", or "did" to ask about the object of the sentence. Examples include "What did Christopher Columbus discover?" and "Where did Mary live?". Subject questions do not use auxiliary verbs and ask about the subject of the sentence, such as "Who discovered America?" and "Who lived in Argentina?". The document provides additional examples and a comparison chart of object and subject questions.

Formal and informal
Informal writing uses short, common words that are concrete and general. It is direct and personal. Formal writing uses longer, rarer words of French, Latin, or Greek origin that are specific and abstract. It is indirect and objective. Moving from informal to formal means making language more sophisticated for settings like business or academics.

This powerpoint contextualizes the importance of narration and description through their relationship to rhetoric and identity. Argumentation and rhetorical analysis are described as heuristics for rhetoric. Slides on rhetorical analysis link such inquiry to self-reflection and the visualization of opportunities to connect to audiences, as well as invites occasions for argumentation. Lecture notes, discussion questions, free-writing exercises, and collaborative workshop activities enable students to sharpen their narration/description skills. This powerpoint does not exhaustively cover specific narration techniques such as utilizing active verbs to create narrative perspective, but students are encouraged to reflect on this strategy throughout the slides "showing not telling."
Some slides are in conversation with the textbooks Envision (2nd Edition) by Christine Alfano and Alyssa O'Brien, and Christine Latterell's Remix (2nd Edition). Instructors may omit slides that deal with these external materials. The contents of this presentation may be approached as a series of interactive discussions intended to be spread out over the course of two to three class periods.

Purpose and Learning Objectives
In this assignment, you should practice writing using the writing process and developing a well-constructed analysis essay in formal register. The essay should show how an analysis of the visual components of an image leads to a better understanding of the image.
Process for Completion
The first step in this process will be to choose an image. Browse the images available through the Gordon Parks Foundation Archives. The link is available near the end of Unit 3. Choose an image that you find engaging and that you feel offers ample opportunity for analysis. Some images are interesting, but they’re difficult to talk about. The image you choose will be the subject of your essay.
After you have chosen your image, you should engage in some prewriting activities using the ideas and terms presented in Unit 4. First, take stock of your initial reactions to the image. What emotions did you feel as you first looked at the photograph? What aspects about the image lead viewers to react a certain way?
Before you begin writing, you will want to perform some research. This assignment requires at least one source (print or web). If you're choosing an image about the Civil Rights Movement, you might want to research the movement. If you're choosing an image about Flavio in Rio de Janeiro, you might want to research how Gordon Parks met Flavio. You're welcome to use more than one source, but be sure to keep track of the information you gain from your source so that you can cite the source appropriately.
Next, analyze the image by looking closely at the content, framing, composition, focus, color, lighting and context. What interesting or unique features do you notice about the image? What is the cultural or historical context of the image? You should record all of these activities. Some of them will become important pieces of your final draft.
Next, it will be time to find your focus and begin generating a working thesis statement. For this assignment, your thesis will make a claim about the
meaning
of the image. In other words, what message does the image communicate? Remember, every image tells a story and an image may tell a different story depending on who is looking. Once you have decided what idea or story the image communicates to you, you will need to explain how content, framing, focus, color, angle and lighting come together to create that story or convey meaning. Your thesis will be more specific if you show which visual elements your essay discusses and what they do to create meaning. So, an example thesis might be something like this: “Through content, framing, and angle, the image demonstrates how segregation affected not only adults but also the children of black families in the South.”

This document provides tips for writing a thesis. It discusses starting the writing process early by choosing a title and outline. The outline should summarize the argument in one sentence for each chapter. Material should be collected in a binder as it is researched. Examiners will want to understand the thesis quickly, so the abstract, conclusions, and contents should clearly convey the purpose and findings. Getting feedback from others helps improve the thesis before examination. Regularly interacting with potential examiners also helps them understand and appreciate the research.

How to Write a Philosophy Dialogue

Writing a dialogue
Writing philosophy essays doesn’t have to be boring. (Perhaps I’m not the best person to talk about this
because I never find philosophy essays boring!) The trick is to make it interesting for you. There are different
ways you can do this. In this hub I will illuminate one way in which you might achieve this. I will describe how
one would go about writing a dialogue between two or more characters. This is a legitimate way to write a
philosophy essay (some very good writing in philosophy is in dialogue form), but you have to ensure that you
cover everything that is asked of you in the essay question. Here is how.
What a Dialogue is About
A dialogue is a discussion between two or more people (or perhaps even one person and their conscience,
or a better self). It is written much like a stage play is written. So when you write a dialogue imagine that you
are writing a stage play. It requires some sort of narrative at the start to introduce the characters (and
perhaps the scenario) and then a discussion between the characters. For example:
Alan and Lady Lovelace are having a cup of tea in Alan’s parlour. As usual, their discussion becomes
somewhat philosophical.
Lady Lovelace: So what is it I hear about you and thinking machines, Alan?
Alan: Well, with the advances in modern technology and our advances in computer science, I think we are in
a good position to say that there is a possibility of a thinking machine.
Lady Lovelace: Are you quite serious, Alan!?
Alan: Certainly I am, my Lady…
This is the basic format of a dialogue. You can include more characters if you need to. Importantly, however,
you need to ensure that you answer the essay question in your discussion. This will include some
preparatory work before you go ahead and write your masterpiece. In particular, this will require analysing
the essay question and some initial planning.
Why Write a Dialogue?
There are plenty of reasons to write your philosophy essay in dialogue form. Here is a list:
• It is fun
• It is a different and creative way to write a philosophy essay
• It allows you to ask questions (by one of the characters) that you think the reader might be thinking
• A conversation between two people naturally brings out the reasons one holds a particular position,
which is very important in any philosophy essay
• Because it is naturally suited for outlying reasons for holding certain positions, it can help you in both
writing a good essay as well as getting further understanding of the topic
• It is a tried and true form of philosophical writing

Analyzing Stage
In the first stage it is very important to analyse the essay question. I have covered this in .
All about writing
This document provides guidance on effectively structuring writing assignments. It discusses organizing thoughts, constructing paragraphs with clear topic sentences, and developing arguments with proper evidence and arrangement. Key recommendations include letting the thesis direct the overall structure, sketching and outlining arguments to explore connections between ideas, and ensuring paragraphs are supportive, strong, and considerate to create a coherent overall paper. The document emphasizes finding the structure that best supports the intended argument.
Module 9 NOVINS
This document provides instructions for an assignment asking students to synthesize information from three sources on a social issue topic. Students are to choose a topic, write what they already know and questions they have, find three relevant sources (one magazine article, one newspaper article, and one scholarly journal article), and write a 2-5 page paper synthesizing what they learned and how their understanding changed. The document explains how to search the library database to find appropriate sources and format citations and references, with the goal being for students to engage in critical reading and merge new knowledge with prior ideas on their topic.
Noodle tools: how to take notes
NoodleBib is an online tool that helps students take organized notes, create citations and bibliographies, and develop ideas and outlines for research projects and papers. It allows users to take notes online and link sources to notes, makes it easy to quote and cite sources accurately, and provides prompts and tools to help users analyze information, tag concepts, and build outlines. Students can access and organize their work across devices, and the tool aims to help students spend more time thinking critically about their research rather than formatting citations.
At nasty
The document discusses redesigning a poorly designed party flyer to make it better. It begins by introducing the task of analyzing the flyer and identifying ways it could be improved. It then examines the flyer's elements, such as what the event is about, important brand information, and graphic elements. The document concludes by instructing the reader to redesign the flyer using design software and share the improved version.
Crap
Robin Williams wrote a popular design handbook for non-designers. The document then discusses C.R.A.P., a foundational design principle consisting of contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity. It defines each concept, with contrast involving differences between elements, repetition as repeating colors or styles, alignment as positioning elements in relation to each other, and proximity as grouping similar elements together. Examples are provided to illustrate each C.R.A.P. principle.

Thesis powerpoint
This document provides tips for writing a thesis. It discusses starting the writing process early by choosing a title and outline. The outline should summarize the argument in one sentence for each chapter. Material should be collected in a binder as it is researched. Examiners will want to understand the thesis quickly, so the abstract, conclusions, and contents should clearly convey the purpose and findings. Getting feedback from others helps improve the thesis before examination. Regularly interacting with potential examiners also helps them understand and appreciate the research.

Writing a dialogue
Writing philosophy essays doesn’t have to be boring. (Perhaps I’m not the best person to talk about this
because I never find philosophy essays boring!) The trick is to make it interesting for you. There are different
ways you can do this. In this hub I will illuminate one way in which you might achieve this. I will describe how
one would go about writing a dialogue between two or more characters. This is a legitimate way to write a
philosophy essay (some very good writing in philosophy is in dialogue form), but you have to ensure that you
cover everything that is asked of you in the essay question. Here is how.
What a Dialogue is About
A dialogue is a discussion between two or more people (or perhaps even one person and their conscience,
or a better self). It is written much like a stage play is written. So when you write a dialogue imagine that you
are writing a stage play. It requires some sort of narrative at the start to introduce the characters (and
perhaps the scenario) and then a discussion between the characters. For example:
Alan and Lady Lovelace are having a cup of tea in Alan’s parlour. As usual, their discussion becomes
somewhat philosophical.
Lady Lovelace: So what is it I hear about you and thinking machines, Alan?
Alan: Well, with the advances in modern technology and our advances in computer science, I think we are in
a good position to say that there is a possibility of a thinking machine.
Lady Lovelace: Are you quite serious, Alan!?
Alan: Certainly I am, my Lady…
This is the basic format of a dialogue. You can include more characters if you need to. Importantly, however,
you need to ensure that you answer the essay question in your discussion. This will include some
preparatory work before you go ahead and write your masterpiece. In particular, this will require analysing
the essay question and some initial planning.
Why Write a Dialogue?
There are plenty of reasons to write your philosophy essay in dialogue form. Here is a list:
• It is fun
• It is a different and creative way to write a philosophy essay
• It allows you to ask questions (by one of the characters) that you think the reader might be thinking
• A conversation between two people naturally brings out the reasons one holds a particular position,
which is very important in any philosophy essay
• Because it is naturally suited for outlying reasons for holding certain positions, it can help you in both
writing a good essay as well as getting further understanding of the topic
• It is a tried and true form of philosophical writing

Analyzing Stage
In the first stage it is very important to analyse the essay question. I have covered this in .
All about writing
This document provides guidance on effectively structuring writing assignments. It discusses organizing thoughts, constructing paragraphs with clear topic sentences, and developing arguments with proper evidence and arrangement. Key recommendations include letting the thesis direct the overall structure, sketching and outlining arguments to explore connections between ideas, and ensuring paragraphs are supportive, strong, and considerate to create a coherent overall paper. The document emphasizes finding the structure that best supports the intended argument.
Module 9 NOVINS
This document provides instructions for an assignment asking students to synthesize information from three sources on a social issue topic. Students are to choose a topic, write what they already know and questions they have, find three relevant sources (one magazine article, one newspaper article, and one scholarly journal article), and write a 2-5 page paper synthesizing what they learned and how their understanding changed. The document explains how to search the library database to find appropriate sources and format citations and references, with the goal being for students to engage in critical reading and merge new knowledge with prior ideas on their topic.
Noodle tools: how to take notes
NoodleBib is an online tool that helps students take organized notes, create citations and bibliographies, and develop ideas and outlines for research projects and papers. It allows users to take notes online and link sources to notes, makes it easy to quote and cite sources accurately, and provides prompts and tools to help users analyze information, tag concepts, and build outlines. Students can access and organize their work across devices, and the tool aims to help students spend more time thinking critically about their research rather than formatting citations.

Brief Video Game History
The first video game was created in 1958 and was called Tennis for Two. In the 1970s, Atari created early arcade games like Computer Space and Pong, popularizing the video game industry. In the 1980s, Nintendo launched the NES console and games like Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid, starting the console wars between Nintendo, Sega, and others. World of Warcraft's success in 2004 demonstrated the popularity of online and PC gaming. The mobile gaming industry also grew significantly in the late 2000s with the rise of smartphones.
Dungeons & Dragons history
Dungeons & Dragons, conceived by Gary Gygax as an extension of his wargaming hobby to include fantasy elements, became one of the first role-playing games and an inspiration for many video games. Starting as a supplement for his wargames called Chainmail, Gygax added magical elements to engage players. With friend Dave Arneson, they expanded on this, forming the company Tactical Studies Rules to publish the seminal title Dungeons & Dragons in 1974. D&D went on to huge commercial success but also moral panics over its occult themes before being acquired by Wizards of the Coast and then Hasbro, who continue publishing new editions today.
Rhetoric of Advertising
Advertisements use visual rhetoric to convey messages and influence consumers. Imagery, color, layout, and other design elements all work together to appeal to audiences on an emotional level and shape perceptions. How an ad presents itself visually impacts what impressions it makes and what actions it inspires in viewers.
Logos
The document discusses logos and their purpose from a rhetorical perspective. It emphasizes that logos must represent an organization or person completely and that decisions about logos must be precise and grounded rhetorically. It then lists 10 rules for effective logos, such as answering who, what and why, identifying rather than explaining, and designing for longevity and a variety of media. The document notes that personal logos can be challenging but that the key is understanding the occasion rhetorically and infusing unique personality elements. It stresses the importance of evoking feeling with a personal logo.
411 Personal Logo PowerPoint
This document contains notes from a class discussing logo design. It includes:
1) An assignment for students to email the instructor about their recent group project, describing what tasks each member completed, how well they worked as a group and individually, and how they managed their time.
2) A reminder that tags for another assignment are due on Thursday and should include a photo of the tag and where it was distributed.
3) A discussion of logo design principles, including the "10 logo rules" and considerations for personal logos like representing one's personality and audience.
4) An upcoming in-class activity where students will use Photoshop to mock up web pages based on sites they like.

- 2. TODAY 1) Icebreaker 2) Research blog: assigned 3) Let’s talk CRAP! 4) Activity: find some CRAP! 5) A little bit o’ work time 6) Homework
- 3. Icebreaker… Per usual, start with your name. Then offer us your favorite nickname that you’ve ever had. If you haven’t had a favorite nickname, we might have to provide you one on-the-spot.
- 4. Research blog You should have received an email back from me re: your focal topics. If you didn’t, that means I didn’t get your focal topic and you need to hustle to get that to me. Now it’s time to talk about what we’re going to do with those topics.
- 5. It’s a blog… …with research. I know, that sounds sort of self-definitional, so let me explain a bit more. You’re going to go through a two-fold process. You’re going to research, finding references– articles, books, websites, videos, interviews, whatever you consider to be research material– then you’re going to make posts to your blog that include a link to (or a reference to) the resource and your thoughtful reflection on/response to the reference.
- 6. This assignment… …will span the next 10 weeks. I expect you to make AT LEAST three posts a week, so that means in the end, you should have 30 posts or more. Each post needs to include a reference of some sort and your response/thoughts (no less than 250 words from you in each post).
- 7. Grading criteria… If you would like to suggest other grading criteria, I am open to that (we can modify this), but if not, this is my plan for grading: 1)Are there at least 3 entries each week? (25 % of grade, so -2.5% for any week this answer is “no”) 2)Is there a clear focus to the research? (25%) 3)Are the resources quality and in-line with the research focus? (25%) 4)Are the responses to the resources thoughtful and engaging ? (25%)
- 8. Let’s make the blogs Hop over to Tumblr, and I’ll show you how to make a new blog. You’ll need to name this blog for your research question/topic and email me the URL, as we did with the others. Let’s do all of that right now so there’s no need for me to hunt these down later.
- 10. As funny as it is… … making CRAP jokes, it really is a foundational premise of design, and it’s deeply important (and thanks to our sense of humor usually quite memorable). The letters, of course, stand for: Contrast Repetition Alignment Proximity
- 11. You read about it So I’m going to give these to you in my words, along with a few quick examples, so you can get a good sense of how it works.
- 12. Contrast Basically stated, contrast means that things that are similar look similar but things that are different look clearly different. This keeps your reader from becoming confused and creating relationships that aren’t present. It comes, of course, from literal contrast, the light-to- dark or black-to-white of an image. In design it often ends up being about color values.
- 13. This image is a great example, and it is also a hyperlink to a great blog entry on contrast, if you want to learn more.
- 14. Repetition Maybe the easiest of these four concepts to define, repetition is, just as you’d guess, repeating something– a color, a logo, a typeface, a type style. It unifies and organizes.
- 16. Alignment Alignment is about positioning on a page. Nothing should be put on haphazardly. There should be a reason and a measurement that guides where things are placed in relation to each other.
- 17. The image to the right links to a post that has some cool reflection on alignment. And there’s all kinds of alignment going on with the new Windows 8 start page.
- 18. Proximity Proximity is very similar in theory to alignment, but it’s more about grouping and use of white space. Basically: similar things are grouped together, different things require space.
- 20. Now… … pair up and go find a few examples of your own. Go to websites or draw documents from places you’d normally read and see how these four principles are being utilized in the designs you most frequently use/read.
- 21. Homework Read for class: Chapters7 on Color in Robin Williams’ The Non-Designer’s Design Book, 3rd Ed. And play around with/read as much as you can on: Colors on the Web
- 22. Before we go… … I want you to take a few minutes to think about issues relating to digital rhetoric and writing that you’d like to discuss in class. Go to my blog at http://phill224.tumblr.com/ click on the “ask me anything” button in the right margin, and offer up your ideas. I will use those to guide our readings for the remainder of the semester.
