The Rhetoric of Visual Arguments

  Assignment

Let's create our own visual argument.

First, create an account at Animoto.com

  • With your assigned topic collect 8 images that represent some aspect of that topic (create a folder and save them all as JPEGs)
  • Follow the instructions at Animoto to create a 30 second video.  You may use music if you wish.
  • Animoto will ask you to upload images, select music and then ask to create your video.
  • Please write down your topic and the argument you are trying to make with your images and video.
  • Once the video is created, Animoto will email a link to your video
  • Groups will be asked to show their video and to explain their choices (argument, topic)
