Class Discussion 11/12/2008

Conference that Dr. Nelson spoke at in Iowa last Friday.
Multi-modal (multimedia) writing
Saw and visited with Debra Marquart, a a poet and a professor at Iowa State
watched Youtube...."Video Poetry"
We can access archives.org for video that isn't subject to copyright infringement problems. Or, some popular video can be used as an "educational purposes" platform, therefor not strictly a problem.
Various literary forms in a wide range of forms.
"The message is in the medium." qtd.
"Movie Maker" (downloaded just now!)
"I-Movie"
to use as the tool to create a visual critique!
Contemporary rhetoric is very different from how we used to say things'''
i.e. old James Bond films as opposed to the new one to be released this Friday.
Nowadays, heroes may fall and then continue on as a hero.
Why would "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" movie be so popular around the time of our recent 2008 economic crisis?
if it's popular, then it is teaching...and we want to gain something from the story.
Film project....not too big...some literary work to set to video for a visual critique.
Critique Paper due Monday, November 17th
