Pre-writing

In this week-long assignment, students draw on stasis theory to generate a visualization of available arguments in a controversy.

Students work in the visual medium to explore dimensions of associative image logic they can use in their persuasive written compositions. Ideally, the outcome will be a guiding image which helps arrange and focus their composition.

On the first day of class, students think about the course topic and document their personal definitions of and understandings of the topic.
