Nov 5, 2009

Good evening all:

In class work:
Search and Categorize
1. We went over each and every cartoon that Junior created. Additionally, we created categories and placed cartoons into these categories. It was tough work, but it helped going over the text in a different way and perhaps helped us to understand more of Junior's writing.

Writing Assignment 3
2. Each one of the categories (family, identity crisis, death, depression, culture, friends, etc.) can be a theme that Junior explores in his drawings. It is your job in WA3 to select one of these themes and create an essay around it.

Homework
  • select a theme to work with
  • decide which examples you will use
  • provide a rationale (explanation) for the cartoons that you will use - why you will use some but not the others - explain the connection between them.

See you in class tomorrow. Remember: One week down, and two more to go!

Best,

Prof. Keane
