7. Thinking about photographs
The most important thing to remember about photographs is that they are visual rhetoric – they make an argument!
What arguments do you want to make with your photograph?
Using the photographs you posted for homework, discuss with your group what arguments you were trying to make.
Groupmates: was the photographer successful with their intention?

8. Research Plan Explain your research plan to your group.
After listening to the group member’s plan, ask them about anything you think is missing or unrealistic in our remaining time.
Would you be convinced by the evidence in the argument they are mounting?
