Visual Portfolio

Bring a printout to class. Half a page (100-150 words).

Write the usual reflection paper, only this time focus on the "Visual Portfolio" in the chapter the class has chosen to explore for Unit 2.  Follow the same four-step process all the other reflection papers asked you to follow.

For Unit 2, the class chose the unit on gender; you can find the page number of the visual portfolio by looking in the table of contents. 

In your reflection paper, you are welcome to refer to the captions, but go beyond quoting from the captions, and explore specific details -- a facial expression, a shadow, a bit of background detail -- that you feel makes a significant comment on the unit theme.

Hi Dr. Jerz --

I find myself a little confused about the visual portfolio assignment that is due tomorrow. Are we to read one specific article to focus our attention on in order to write the reflection paper, or are we to skim through all of the unit 2 sections and discuss specific details about how the author conveys his idea through language and description? I'm not sure how you want the reflection paper set up. If you could clarify this for me - I'd appreciate it!!

Thanks!

Lauren

Nevermind!! Figured it out .... Was thinking something different. SORRY!!

Thanks for the follow-up, Lauren. For this assignment, all I'm asking you to do is respond to the collection of photos that are part of the gender chapter -- there's no need, for this assignment, to choose any particular article to connect the photos to, but of course you are welcome to make that kind of connection if you want to.

The other assignment that's due tomorrow asks you to skim four essays from the chapter, and recommend two for the class to read.

I'm always happy to clarify any assignment that's unclear, so please don't apologize for asking.
