Journal 3 Assignment

(Option 1)
Choose a popular media artifact that you have NOT worked with yet
(either in one of your previous journals, or for your final paper).
Examine it using any rhetorical perspective(s) we've studied so far.

OR

(Option 2)
Propose an artifact for our class to analyze in one of the upcoming workshops
-make a persuasive argument for why you think it would be useful. Use
some of the techniques we learned
-provide a clear reference (so I could check the artifact myself)
-keep the situation in audience in mind!
The artifacts WILL be used if you make a good argument for these (and
we have time!)
(but you will only be evaluated on the way you propose the artifact,
not the quality of the artifact or whether we end up looking at it)

Consider the following options
-One of the ideas that you came up with for your first journal (but
did not use for your final paper)
-A favourite song or music video
-An advertisement
-A TV character
-A news story
etc.

As always, an informal paper; aim for ~500 words (more is fine)

Due Friday, March 9th
