came in late...sorry guys.
+Joe Bartolotta - Photo Documentary Midrash:
-local surroundings, new perspectives of place
-multimodal by design: students construct a web page or blog entry for the project
-example: Landscape Architecture (TA offices) as work spaces
?'s I might have for implementing this assignment:
-what's the learning curve for the E part of this assignment? what blogging site did they use to construct these?
-of the numerous perspectives students offer in their midrash, how many of them are fluff?
+Londie Martin - Culture Jamming:
-changing an ad to penetrate and parody its context
*(this sounds a lot like my "changing an ad to change its meaning" proposed assignment...is that a good sign because I arrived at the same idea independently or a bad sign because my "original" ideas are, in fact, not?)
-examples: "Welcome to Marlboro Country" w/ cowboy and cigarette might be changed to a group of smokers shivering outside of their work building
-tied together with the visual analysis essay
?'s: again, what's the learning curve for photoshop or other image editing software?
-how long is this assignment? what are the related readings? evaluation criteria: is it focused more on the change or on the written component?
really cool idea!
+Callae Frazier - Capstone Magazine Development Project
-semester-long unit, students choose their own concept for a magazine (self-themed units)
-example themes: social issues, technology, sustainability, cultural history and current impacts, design,
-students collect research sources throughout the semester and compile them all as articles in a themed magazine (this is a group project, I assume)
-unveiling presentation at end of semester to see which group made the most sophisticated rhetorical choices
?'s: -how much is this assignment worth as part of their total grade? what sort of implementation schedule? how do you evaluate each member of the group's contributions to the magazine?
-seems like a novel idea, and a different way to approach the documented research essay
Respondents
Mendy -- Quintilian's book 11, on memory: a different mode of looking at the subject, separate of analysis
-WOVE is an ecology of positions
-Can students understand that the W and V will yield different things, unless you call attention to it explicitly?
-If you ask them to reflect on what they're doing, does it become clearer to them that the V and W produce different materials?
concept of "space" vs. "place"
