Two posters that seem simple, but can lead to some complex interpretations, are these... Feel free to use one in your paper.

Oct. 20, 2022 (New Media 10)

Examine your X/Y charts. Of the 3 ads you examine today, which is the most EFFECTIVE (complex, creative, developed) metaphoric ad? Explain. 

- journal-style (so, focused more on Criterion A; don't worry too much about organization, spelling, grammar)

- Target: 9-12 sentences; focus on evidence and explanation

Please staple your metaphors handout (X/Y tables) and reflection together, and submit by the start of class on Monday.
