During class:

  • Three good things (5-7 minutes)
  • Class discussion: (~40 minutes)
    • Think about the wordlessness of the media with which we are now so regularly engaging. If Walker is right that, “[w]hat is important is not the image in itself so much as the relationship between the image and the ways we make sense of it and the ways in which we value it,” then:
      • What is happening in making sense of these images?
      • How does language play a role in that process?
    • consider the statement: “language stretches to accommodate experience” (Neimanis, 2017, 41)
  • Rapid-fire multi-media captioning (~20 minutes)
  • Share thoughts on the captioning process so far (~10 minutes)
