Analyzing Editorials

1) What is the general topic of the editorial?

2)  Label/ identify all that you see (important details)

3) What purpose do these features serve?

4) What is the cartoon saying about the topic?

Questions from Today:

What questions do you have about this assignment? What are some areas of confusion?

 

·      What are we supposed to write down (with words)?

o   Specify subject/ context and ideas

o   Write down your theme statement/ what it is about this topic we’re supposed to learn?

o   Quotes, labels

·      Is there a minimum/ maximum word count? Should there be more images than words?

o   No – I will be looking for somewhat of a balance, but it is okay to feature more images than words. They key is that your words and images should serve a distinct purpose (i.e. not be obligatory)

·      What should we draw on the one-pager?

o   Key scenes or props/ items? ß motifs

o   Symbols to describe the subject (e.g. of us vs them)

·      Does there need to be multiple photos, or can the one-pager feature one prominent image?

o   Either works! 

·      Is there a minimum number of visual techniques (e.g. colour, shading, size, proportion…) we should use?

o   2 or 3+
