Last week we interacted and reviewed work by an ENG 99 class. Today we will review work by another ENG 101 class. The assignment involves analyzing a photo.
It is the following:
In this first formal assignment for this course, you’ll analyze a photograph of a male by reading specific gender markers in order to show how masculinity is, as Lorber puts it, socially constructed.
Analysis involves close examination of the parts to better understand the whole. Any assignment, which asks the writer to explain, interpret, describe, explore why, show how, explicate or discuss, essentially involves an analysis.
Task
Just like we practiced reading a photograph in class, you’ll read and interpret, or analyze, a photograph of a male (yourself/friend/relative) in a focused, well-organized essay of 600 words The objective of the analysis is to determine why or how when looking at your photograph you, and everyone else for that matter, are able to pronounce the person in the photograph to be a male.
The instructor for the class would like us to address these questions for each paper. Some papers are posted as links, others are on the blog themselves. Nonetheless, the comments should go on each person's blog. Please remember you are being graded for this. As before, introduce yourself and also remember to be courteous.
A.) Is the introduction clear and appropriate for the assignment? Is it engaging? Does it have a thesis?
B.) For each body paragraph, comment on whether or not the writer focuses on ONE aspect of the photo. Also, provide feedback regarding how effective is the analysis of each aspect.
C.) Is the conclusion, which should not introduce any new observations about the photo nor a repeat what was stated in the introduction, satisfying?
D.) What is the paper’s biggest strength?
E.) In your professional opinion, what do you think the writer should improve/add/change in the final draft?
