•You must use at least 5 academic and credible sources in this paper. At least 3 of these sources should be from ASU library databases. (Please watch the videos in the “Research Help” module for reference.) All sources should be incorporated into the essay effectively by using signal phrases and cited correctly according to APA style. (Please watch the videos in the “Documenting Sources” module for help.) Prior to writing the rough draft, you will research your topic using ASU library databases and the Internet and map out your ideas for the essay by completing a relevant discussion board and an eBook assignment.
•Your argument should be targeted for a specific audience and developed using 2-3 audience-based reasons. These are reasons that are rooted in your audience’s values and beliefs, reasons that will sound the most convincing for them.
•You should also identify 2-3 counter-arguments that your audience may raise to challenge you and respond to them by either refuting or conceding to them. You will complete a relevant discussion assignment to help you with this audience requirement.
•You should use the rhetorical appeals (logos, pathos, and ethos) effectively with your target audience and purpose in mind. Your tone and diction should also be appropriate for this audience. Ask yourself how you will appeal to your audience’s intellect and make a logical argument, engage them emotionally and appeal to their values/beliefs, and how you will come across as a credible, trustworthy writer.
Overused Topics: Unless you have a personal connection to the topic and have obtained permission from your instructor, don’t focus your project on any of following issues, as they either a) are too generic or common, b) don’t promote creative idea generation, or c) lack sufficient depth.

Part II: Requirements for Visual Representation and Analysis
1. Using the information you gathered for your essay, you must articulate your position/argument in one or more photographs (for example in the form of a collage). You can use a digital camera, a smartphone, Instagram, or any other photography app to capture the image(s)—either one you find already existing in your environment or one you stage using objects or people. Your images/photographs must be school-appropriate. Nudity and/or offensive or pornographic images will not be tolerated.
2. You should place the photograph(s) in a word document, crafting an appropriate title that hints at the purpose of the image(s).
3. Under the photograph(s), you will craft a minimum 500-word visual analysis, where you discuss the following:
· Rationale behind the image(s) as it (they) relate to your position
o What elements or objects did you include and why?
· The framing of the image
o What is significant about what you included in the boundaries of the frame and what you left out?
· Rhetorical considerations
o How do the images, the placement of the images, and your/the photographer’s vantage point appeal to ethos, pathos, and logos? How do you convince your audience of your position through the staging of the images?
