Assignment
- Review the guidelines for the Lens Analysis Essay, then re-read the model lens analysis essay, and the guidelines for naming and formatting essay drafts detailed in the course syllabus.
- Write an introduction (either P-S or S-P) in which you carefully describe the exhibit, introduce the problem in the exhibit that you intend to address, state the costs or consequences of not solving the problem, and offer your thesis as a response to the problem. Your thesis should specify the implicit message of the advertisement as well as the intended audience of the advertisement. (2 paragraphs)
- Over the course of your formal draft, carefully analyze specific aspects of your advertisement using lens analysis whenever possible in order to develop and support your opinion about the messages of the advertisement and its intended audience.
- Include a Works Cited list on a separate page using MLA style. Refer to the course textbook for help with this.
- Instead of a self-evaluation, write the PAS outline for your essay on a separate page. (Review the Effective Paragraphing handout.)
- Name your Word document as explained in the course syllabus and then submit it to https://www.dropbox.com/request/4J7uCighc9hFBnqUjkC1
