301--Interpersonal Communication

So Yesterday we talked about when you as a sender were misinterpreted. Today, same deal...but from the receiver standpoint. Tell me when...and why...as a receiver you took the wrong message.

401--Advanced Comm 5th period (South Humanities room #2)

We're going to begin on visual rhetoric. As visual creatures...most of us anyhow...images are an incredibly powerful tool. Everything from our appearance to to world around us to the media we take in effects us deeply. Our brains are conditioned to make sense of the world in the most expedient way possible.

Right now, I'd like you to use the computers and find me an image that you find to be extremely powerful. You don't have to explain why today. Just..an image. I'd prefer nothing that's going to make me cry or vomit, please.

Over the weekend...I'd like you to find me 5 more that go together in some way. Monday you'll present this image essay to the class and we'll deconstruct them. Ok, go.

Lindsey stopped to think for a long time possibly all night, oops before coming up with a few things to search for. Eventually he came up with this (http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/ceps/etp/earth/img/EarthAS17.jpg).
He figures anything that can make you feel kind of insignificant just by looking at it has to be powerful.

"Do the 5 pictures for Monday have to relate back to this one too, or just to each other?"

"Just to each other, Lindsey. That's a great one...good eye."
