Cannot draw conclusions but you can start judging.
Name things to recall a visual memory.
Naming helps the mind recognize next time it’s seen and brings it to existence.
The median carries the message and has the power to prohibit activity.

Sep. 9 Notes
-For visualize assignment, the reader can’t see the picture, so give enough details so the reader can visualize and also understand what is happening. Fully analyze what is going on in that frame, with great detail.
-Naming helps us visualize the scene. Our prospective changes when we look at something a different way or with a name for it never given before.
-Steve Gass invented a new saw stop system using electric current to immediately stop the saw when touches skin. He struggled to sell to big manufactures. Once he started selling on his own, the manufacturers then had to get their own safety system.
-Assignment – Choose five sources. Quote the constituent and identify the claims made. Also evaluate the claim.

We went over some more visual rhetoric to have a better understanding on what exactly it is. We watched one on child hunger and one on animal abuse. Invention by Naming is to not just describe our experience, but to create our experience. Invention by Perspective changes wherever you stand, you have different perspective on things when you stand somewhere else and see the object at a different angle.

Talked about the visual analysis assignment, and how more detail should be added to better review the ad. Also viewed more advertisements and picked them apart second by second to better understand what is going on, and although we weren’t going to a definite conclusion we still were taking our first judgement of what was happening. Talked about how naming things in relation to the thing that the object in question resembles in either form, appearance, or any other descriptive element that may be able to be related. Such as if one were to name something “mint” colored, it would help to imagine what a “mint popsicle” would look like, thus helping one realize what something actually is based on a description relating it to something else. Even with describing phenomenon, such as the rain dripping from leaves, since it doesn’t have a name, Professor called it “leaf drip” and that is what it is known as to him and anyone he calls it as it was given a descriptive title. Went over the claims assignment and what is needed for it to be a good addition to our work list.

1. To analyze visuals, it is needed to describe scenes in detail so that readers are aware of the explanations behind a writer’s conclusion. When writers are capable of describing a scene in detail, they transport their audience to the scene and allow them to experience it themselves.
2. When analyzing an image, our instinct lead us to judge the scene and its purposes.
3. Perspectives shape thoughts and beliefs. Just as Orion is seen differently from various places in the universe, perspectives vary from person to person.
4. Naming objects and phenomena helps people experience the uniqueness of a scene themselves. When phenomena are not categorized under specific names, humans have the power to create original and innovative names for them.

-Steve Gass created limb-saving technology, but no one wants it. Because no one wanted to buy the technology, he decided to begin making the table saws, but now he sees it from the manufacturer’s perspective. So if everything is pushing for this technology to take-off, why are manufacturers so resistant?

Visual Rhetoric Revising
– Observe every detail!
– “Explain what the scene looks like and what emotional or intellectual choices are being communicated”
– Pay attention to the foreground, background, people, expressions
Invention by naming
– If you take a closer look at the things around you and classify them in a much more specific sense, they will become more memorable and you will be able to remember these types that you’ve created
– For example, rain can have many names, there are many specifics you can add to rains between drizzles and downpours
Invention by perspective
– Our perspective changes based on our position in any given place
– What looks like Orion’s belt to us would look like three unrelated stars millions of miles apart from each other from another angle in space
Evaluating Sources Task DUE Mon. 11:59 pm October 15
– Identify/analyze a claim from each of 5 constituents
– Look above Stone Money under Saw Stop for sources
– Quote constituent, paraphrase the claim, identify type of claim, evaluate the accuracy/logic behind the claim, choose to refute claim if you’d like
– Example under Safer Saw claims in today’s agenda

We went over more examples for our visual rhetoric assignment.
Perspective on things can change no matter where you are. Earth can look very different to someone who’s been on the planet their whole lives and an astronaut on the ISS.
The constellation Orion looks very different from to us than it does in space.
Someone’s sees an issue and devotes effort to redeem it.
Based on outside perspectives the first person adjusts his idea and changes his perspective
People either agree with the perspective or they disagree with the perspective.
When you evaluate a source you can find out what the message is trying to be and to whom the argument is being presented to.
One sentence could possibly have up to four claims in it.
When examining claims do not examine them in our own work, concentrate on one per constituent.

The visual rhetoric assignment should go into extreme detail. Especially during the first second while the world view is still broad. Not only should the scene be described accurately, conclusions should be drawn and inferences should be made.
Language is an active choice used by people to distinguish different experiences. It’s powerful enough to help create memories, and helps draw attention to things. Taking note of simple phenomenon and classifying ideas helps develop ideas.
All text is an argument. Whether its a sign or a paper, there is always a claim made.
Saw stop claims should be made by taking one central claim from five different sources. The claims should then be identified and evaluated.

The way we names things create meaning for us. Words create concepts, and things are made when they are claimed and named.
Filter bubble – Search engine recognizes what you commonly search. Information becomes more narrow. No such thing as a filter bubble, but it can be discussed because it is well described.
One can add something of real value to conversation and the world by classifying/naming something that hasn’t been named yet.
Position changes perspective. Orion’s belt looks like how it does from earth (connected), but from a different spot/angle it doesn’t look the same. They wouldn’t be put together.
“No Fishing on Bridge” sign is an argument. It is arguing what to do and how it has the authority to enforce it.
Assignment – Find one claim each from five sources. Identify the claim and describe/evaluate it. Find sources under Saw Stop category on sidebar.

– Moving images can convey a lot to an audience and draw their attention. With each second passing by, the audience becomes drawn in more and more
– Names can imply descriptions. There are some stuff that people don’t know how to identify them as. For example, when it rains it usually means that raindrops are falling from the sky. But what if outside it is not raining but you have water dripping from the tree leaves above your head?
– We went through a couple of different videos from Ad Council and examined the details of each 1 second incremental.
– When the picture of the Earth was taken on December 7, 1972 and released to the world, it was a new feeling for everyone. Until this day, no one really fathomed what earth would look like.
– We discussed about the Orion constellation from Earth’s perspective versus a perspective anywhere else. The constellation won’t appear to be the same because we don’t account for all dimensions. Each star is at least millions of miles apart from each other.
– All Text is Argument
