Hello Class!

Here is your next assignment.


322W: Teen TV
Space, Consumption, TV Assignment: Creative Composition
Fall 2013
Dr. Joy Fuqua


DUE: Nov. 20, 2013


For this assignment, respond to Ellen Seiter’s questions with a creative composition using images, found sound and text, assembled images and words, spatial renderings, music montage, photographic assembly, video, or any other form that is NOT a five-paragraph paper.  Use this opportunity to compose a response to her arguments and our field trip to Toys R Us that engages the key themes and concepts of the course. The assignment has no preferred mode except that it be presentable in class to your peers and that is not exceed two minutes in length. You must select one question from two of Seiter’s categories and then compose your response. You might construct your own Pinterest page or tumblr or curate a series of images, texts, websites, etc. that express – through composition and assembly – your thoughts regarding the key concepts and ideas.

That is all the guidance I’ll provide. The rest is up to you. Surprise me. Surprise yourself. Remember, language is always the last to arrive so try another means of composing.

  1. Can I make this assignment as a blog post for my blog?

  2. Only if you can do some kind of creative composition with it -- not with words. I'd prefer it to be an audio-visual experience of some sort. Pitch me an idea.
