Return to the focused freewriting you did in class on Tuesday about “Visual Literacy.”

Read Pages 209-218 (Intro and Zemliansky) and pages 244-250 (Sturken & Cartwright) in chapter 5 of EaT.

Respond to the following prompt and post to both your Expressions blog site & our shared class site (gflebron.expressions.syr.edu > Unit 2 : Situating Visual Literacies  > “Visual Literacy: Expanded”)

Prompt: Return to the focused freewriting writing you did in class. In light of the two essays in Everything’s a Text, how might you revise or expand your initial ideas about visual literacy?

Also post on your blog only:
