Announcements & Visual Portfolio Assignment

Dear Class,
Sorry we couldn't have class today. After being surrounded by sick roommates and friends for the past few days, I started coughing last night. I actually feel okay, but with all the paranoia about swine flu, I didn't want to risk passing germs on to you all.
So, what do you need to know?
--> We will back to business as usual on Tuesday. Have your extended drafts ready to go and I'll have a checklist of areas to go over before you turn in the final drafts next Thursday.
--> We'll also talk about the RA reading and we'll have our LOP finale discussion on Tuesday.
--> "Ms. Liu, what is the Visual Portfolio assignment??" Good question! You all have examined several different visual portfolios in RA this semester. Now it's up to you to put together your own. Going along with our last unit in RA, the topic is "Religion in America." You can flip through magazines, print pictures off the web, take your own pictures, etc. Minimum: 3-4 pictures. Then, write 1 page (TYPED please) about why you chose the pictures you did--is there some kind of theme or message you were aiming for? Was there some sort of personal link for you? etc. Attach your pictures and turn this in on Tuesday. This will be worth 2 homework assignments.
--> If you have any questions, just e-mail me or post them here.

Have a good weekend!
