As a TA for a visual studies and communications class, I like to give my students assignments that will really make them think about how to convey information visually. I assigned my freshmen with the task of creating a VISUAL ESSAY. Without words they must tell the story of their weekend. Perhaps their roommate bitched them out or peed in their closet. Maybe they stopped taking their diarrhetic and wanted to start vomiting again. Sometimes grandma died. Sometimes the other grandma died too. Freshmen go through a lot their first year, there is a lot of change in their lives. I wanted to help them be able to capture those moments and also learn how to convey information. Here is an example of an A+ story.
