Class Work
1. We have the computers today. Get with a group of four - yes, you single scholars on the side of the room need to join a table.
A. Call up your selected photograph of study. Share your paragraphs with the group. What did you see? What techniques were used? (See pp. 469-473) Did you use the "professional" terms? If so, which ones?
B. Discuss photo sharing sites. What did you find?
C. With your group, complete #1 on p. 479. One written report per group, please.
D. How can the use and/or discussion of visuals enhance a persuasive essay? Is a picture really worth a thousand words?

Reality TV - do you watch?
A. "Why Reality TV is Good for Us" by James Poniewozik http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0%2C9171%2C421047%2C00.html
B. "When Reality TV Gets Too Real" by Jeremy W. Peters http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/08/business/media/08reality.html?pagewanted=print
Homework
Finish reading about Googling and Reality TV. What do you think? Do you Google/Yahoo/ Bing information when an discussion with an expert would serve you better? Do you watch Reality TV? Do your friends? What's the harm? (Respond in writing. These are "thought notes." Bring at least one page of notes to class on Thursday. Talk to at least five others.)
We do not have computers on Thursday - bring your notes on paper.
