BUILDING A BLUEPRINT
You will:
- Examine the role of text and visuals in enhancing the overall structure of a graphic essay.
- Read published examples of graphic essays and consider what makes this type of text effective at communicating a message.
- Reflect on what you observed today and how you might incorporate ideas and strategies into your graphic essay.
In today's lesson:
Discuss with your elbow partner about how the visual elements and verbal elements make this cartoon effective or not. How do images affect the response you have to this cartoon? How do the visual and verbal language work together to inform your understanding of the cartoon?How do specific visual language choices change the way you vIew an argument?
Visual and verbal language review
On the following slide, you will see a graphic essay that is not in its proper order. You should rearrange the panels of the essay to put it in its proper order. Click on each picture to enlarge it so you can read it. With a partner, write on your table or a paper the numbers 1-10. Write one sentence explaining the main idea of each panel. Once you have read them all and determined the main idea, go to the next slide where you can drag them into their proper positions. You might want to have both slides open on two computers to more easily go back and forth.
