Hello gang!
It's time for me to leave with you my final blog post of the semester, but surely the most entertaining! On this very page, you will see the 4 photos that make up my visual argument for Studying Abroad. While some of it may seem a bit forward, obvious, or uncomplicated, you haven't read the paper that goes with it that fully explains the pictures, so allow me to go into a slight explanation:
#1: The world's greatest monuments are just outside of your classroom door
#2: Learn how others celebrate cultural traditions or holidays, in this case, Christmas in Germany
#3: You're more aware of what's going on in the world; can see things first hand and thus better understand them, like the Parliamentary system of British government
#4: Part of the TCU mission statement is to act as a "global leader"
And that's what my visual argument is all about Charlie Brown.
Hope you guys had a good semester and have an even better new year! Till next time,
Happy LAST DAY OF CLASS all!

Visual Arguments
Hello all!
Today is a big day for the class, and I mean that in the most unsarcastic way. We have blogs, revisions on projects and rough drafts all due today! It's also the last Thursday class in 2011 EVER. How weird is that? Bring back November!
For my visual argument, I originally had a girl walking around campus seeing "the world" in reflections of things. While I still think the idea is really solid, I was told that there wasn't enough argument in my images, for surely who would argue against studying abroad? While I argue against that [i.e. not everyone I know believes in studying abroad] I do see how it needs to be more argumentative or "in your face!" for lack of a better word.
So I reworked it, took some ideas into consideration and am ready to present them to my peers today. Hopefully, it will be more of an argument because I'm meeting with my model this afternoon to take pictures. Eeeeekkk!
Happy Thursday.
