Thursday Feb 14 - Picture analysis

Aim:

1. Practicing oral skills, delivering arguments. ("in different situations be able to introduce and actively participate in different kinds of oral communication [...] use English flexibly, for a purpose [...] formally and informally" and "provide structured oral information")


2. Listening comprehension. ("Understand different types of clear, authentic speech, in various circumstances")


Tasks:

1. We'll work in 4 groups. One will consist of the web designers, the rest you make yourselves. Each individual will get one picture to analyse. This analysis will be presented to the rest of the group. Then the group will present an analysis of all the pictures, this in front of the rest of us. I'll make sure you get pics to work with (different ad campaigns, one for each group), but if you feel strongly about it you can look for pics yourselves. 


2. Make sure to get familiar with the terms "connotation" and "denotation". They'll be central to your work. Analyse the picture (different parts, colors, figures,  symbols etc.) and the text (if any). I'll go through an example to show what I'm after.

3. Don't know how much time this'll take, but I'm guessing 2 weeks. We'll see...

PS. Check FC for pics. The web designers will work with the Nike campaign. Just choose one pic each and get started. IF at all possible, it might not be a bad idea for you to attend the first 20 or so minutes on Thu.... DS
