Analyzing Political Cartoons

We'll be setting up our school Google email/docs and blogs this week. If you have not turned in your form, do son on MONDAY.

Read Pages 10-12 in the TLC book (the Visual Rhetoric section) and do the assignment on page 12. We will be presenting them on Tuesday in class. I'll go first. :)

Some good places to find political cartoons are:
http://www.slate.com/ (link on the top right of the page)
Local cartoonist and winner of the Pulitzer Prize ... twice.
Also local.
NY Times cartoonist page

Enjoy your weekend!

Greek triangles and pathetic, ethical logos

Aristotelean Triangle
Read pages 1-9 (don't do the assignment in the blue box) for tomorrow in The Language of Composition (TLC -- that's what we decided to call it last year) book.

Come with any questions about the reading you may have.

Just a reminder to bring in your signed Google account slips and syllabi.

I look forward to having a great year with you all. 3rd period seems like a great group...we'll see about 5th. :)
