ELA1104-ABED_1: 2.0 Personal Visual Reflection

For assignments 1.2 and 1.3 you read, reflected on, and responded personally to the main idea of the short story, "My body is my business." For this assignment you will view, reflect upon, and respond personally to one of the visuals below.

How do I create a visual reflection?

view the visuals below

consider the main idea or possible message of each visual

consider which one of the photographs "speaks to you personally" with the strongest voice

think about your personal connection to your chosen visual (you may connect to character, location, idea, any ideas on the last page, etc.)

use the visual as a "springboard" to create your personal visual reflection (you may write about whatever you wish as long as it has a clear connection to the visual in some way)

your reflection should be about 1 to 1.5 pages in length, so you will have to think carefully about what you will write about

while you do not have to use dialogue, should you choose to do so, please review Punctuating Dialogue Correctly online to ensure accurate use
