Class

what impression does the overall visual text creat in you? In unit three we are forced to explore the means of taking position in an argument. This question relates perfectly to the objective of unit 3. The first thing one must do when trying to persuade someone of something is to get them to take a stance or have them affected by what it is that is being argued. The visual text can make me feel a certain way and therefore make me take a certain stance on the topic.
Whats the role of words that may acompany the visual text? How do they clarify or reinforce( or blur or contradict) the message? By providing a text explination of a visual text you can make your audience be forced into thinking or seein a certain idea that they might not have seen on their own. You can persuade their brains into thinking a certain way. I can clarify the message by reinforcing it.

freewrite: group work

when writing group work i had a bad experience in one of my business classes i felt as if i had no voice in the group. The one thing that i didnt enjoy about group work is the girl i was forced to do work with thought that they knew everything and i felt as if i had no voice in the room. Most of my ideas were ignored until the day of the presentation and when i fixed the presentation it never went through n class. this made me mad because some of the girls woul dtry to treat me as if i was a dumby it wasnt a good feeling everytime i would try to contribute my suggestions were not just dismissed but wernet even acknowledged. this waS very discouraginf to the point where i just decided i would let them do all the work since they thought they knew everything and i was definatly sorry i went about it like that. other than that i have not had too many bad experiences doing group work.
I am not sure what would make an ideal group enviornment maybe one wehre each person can contribute and be heard and all members feel equal and members who dont feel that they are better than others are present a good group enviornment is one where each member has a voice and they get a chance to try and to contribute.
EAch group member will have to play a part to make this an effective project i believe that the easiest way to have these roles is not to have a manager of the others but to delegate responsibilities to each person so that it may be divided in an organized fashion one person may be in charge of one article and i differnet person inc harge of another it all depends on all the parts that will be given out n this project.
