Visual Rhetoric Assignment
This assignment requires students to develop proficiency in rhetorical analysis and argument by developing a writing piece that closely problematizes one visual text, such as an advertisement, an editorial cartoon, or some other visually interesting rhetorical work. The aim of your argument is to support a thesis—using the tools of persuasion—concerning how your chosen visual text itself offers a persuasive argument with troublesome issues or tactics. Using Envision in Depth and the models available there as examples, make an argument that persuades readers of your thesis. The form of this assignment is an integrated textual and visual essay that analyzes the visual image and the rhetorical elements of composition, presentation, intended audience, and effect by looking at the image’s logical, emotional, and ethical appeals. You should quote at least two other sources for your argument other than the primary rhetorical text that you are analyzing. This assignment should include a Works Cited page, be formatted according to MLA standards (which includes double spacing, 12 point font, and Times New Roman) and be a minimum of 1500 words.
