Critical Reading and Visual Rhetoric Compilation with Critical Commentary
You will write a critique or assessment of several sources of your choosing.
Compile five sources. Consider either print articles, or visual files (such as cartoons or videos) that are fact based (you may use any combination of these to total five sources).
Examples of print articles: news articles, editorials in newspaper, magazine, journal, websites
Examples of visual files: political cartoons, informative graphics, audio files with content of news, editorial, rhetoric, and videos. These must be published by credible sources but can be satirical in nature (as is often the case with political cartoons).
Credible sources include newspapers, magazines, news websites and major organizations with causes.
For each source, please discuss any or all of the following:
– What the creator is trying to get you to think/buy/sell/vote for/ etc.- Tricks, ploys, appeals, shiny things the creator uses to achieve the goal of the work.
-Analyze each source by discussing how Audience,
– Your personal, first person comments:
Why did you choose this?

What is there to praise or criticize about the author’s work?
Is the author or creator credible? Why or why not?
Is the article or media piece politically liberal or conservative? Why or why not?
