In-class assignment:

2. You must find two specific places (quotes) from the Creeley poem that connect with two quotes from Olson's //Human Universe// and two quotes from Thoreau's //Walden// (You may use one or more of the same quotes from Creeley to connect both Olson and Thoreau—it’s a short poem).

3. You must then show the connections on idea map (show your instructor your iPod) and explain the connections in three sentences on a separate piece of paper. One of Creeley's quotes must connect with both Olson and Thoreau and be explained in full on the same paper.

=Unit 2: Paradise and the Poet=

====For this unit, we will be focusing our attention on Donald Revell's Chicago Lecture, "White Leaves in Heaven's Tree" (link below). Over the course of this lecture, Revell embeds anecdotes, quotes, and stories from various pieces of literature in order to expand an understanding of his subject, Paradise. We will be studying the ideas found in Revell's lecture as well as several of those he mentions over the course of his talk that stem from different texts.====

= = =Unit 3: Love=

Group iPod Project
Day 1: By the end of day 1, you should have a painting selected, a claim about the picture, and evidence to support that claim. You will turn in the paper on which you wrote your answers to questions 1 - 6.

Day2: By the end of day 2, your project should be completely done excepting the audio. This means that you should have all of your pictures edited and ordered in the Story Robe app ready for presentation.

Day 3: The first half of class will be devoted to adding your audio, and the second half of class will be devoted to watching the presentations.

BEGIN HERE:
Each of your groups will decide on a painting from one of the following websites:

[|Web Gallery of Art] or [|Olga Gallery]

Search tips:

1. Olga's Gallery can be easily searched by clicking on the "Movements" link. This will allow you to see thumbnails of several paintings at a time. 2. By searching key words related to love in the Web Gallery of Art you will be able to access a variety of specific thumbnails

After you have selected a painting:

1. Consider your end goal: to provide the class with an analysis of a painting that reveals something that they otherwise may not have realized.

2. When first analyzing the painting, answer the following questions (each group member must write down these answers on his or her own piece of paper): a. Consider the subject: What does the image depict? What is the setting? What is the purpose? b. How is the image arranged: What elements are most prominent? Which are repeated? Which are balanced or in contrast with each other? Which details are important? c. What makes the painting interesting? What observations have you made that go beyond the obvious?

3. Make a claim. What is this painting trying to convey? What is the unifying or dominant idea that the painting reveals? How you answer this will determine your claim.

4. Provide evidence to support your claim. You must have a minimum of three specific details about the painting that support your claim.

5. Conclusion. a. Restate your claim and supporting evidence. b. Tell why what the painting reveals is important to the topic of love.

6. After you have answered the above questions, you will proceed to compose your analysis using Story Robe. Each member of your group must have the same visual presentation ready to record. I will choose one of you at random to use your iPod for the final step. If that iPod does not have the required material, EACH GROUP MEMBER will be docked 20% on the final grade for this presentation. Refer to the example below for help.

media type="youtube" key="79NQTDI3Zn8" height="390" width="480"

Tips and Apps:

1. Use your screen capture tool on your iPod to capture screen shots of images you would like to use in your presentation. 2. Be sure to show the painting several times. Don't be afraid to repeat images. 3. Take close-up pictures by zooming in on details that support your claim. 4. Use the photoshop app to rotate and crop you photos. 5. When you have composed your pictures in Story Robe in the order you would like to present them, ask me for a microphone, and be sure you know what your are going to say and have thorough notes. When you ask for the microphone, I will choose an iPod at random to use for your presentation.
