Required for this assignment:

5 sources, all of which will be in the paper.
Format: Double-spaced, 12 point, Times New Roman
Page Length: 4-6 pages of text.
make sure to include in text citations.

Order of paper- Paper, works cited, photograph. All converted to a single PDF.
Your first paragraph should talk about the photo and how it connects to you, then each paragraph after should ONLY talk about your personal connection or your research-not both. Then in your conclusion, you will once again talk about both you and the photo in the same paragraph.
Order of paper:
Paper-works cited-copy of photo
Only a single photo may be used and it has to be a PUBLISHED photo and that you know who the photographer is.
We are forced to think critically every day. We are given information and we need to be able to put that information into context. What does it mean? To our world, to our country, to you as a person? As we have discussed, everyone has an agenda. Taco Bell wants you to buy their products. Fox News wants to polarize you one way, CNN wants to polarize you the other. In this assignment you will start the process of deciphering these things around us every day and have a significance that we vastly underestimate, the photograph.
Your mission here is to choose a famous photograph to research. You will put that photo into a context. For example, the famous photo of the student standing in front of the tanks at Tiananmen Square from 1989. You could talk about student protests in the face of a brutally repressive government. After your research about the photo, you will then put this same photo into the context of you. Maybe talk about feeling like a person standing in front of a tank at work where you have a boss who wants to “run you over”, or a coach from High School who had it out for you. After your research about the photo, you will then put this same photo into the context of you. Maybe talk about feeling like a person standing in front of a tank when you think of how powerless you are in relationship to the government. If you don’t pay taxes, the IRS is the tank you’ll standing before. Or maybe a coach in high school who just had it out for you.
Then you will weave these two ideas together into a coherent whole. For example, in your first paragraph talk about the student in Tiananmen Square, he had to do something so he stood in front of a tank. Then connect that to your experience with the coach who didn’t like you and how you had to do something so you complained to the principal in your second paragraph. Then the student, in the third paragraph. He didn’t really stop the tanks, they just went around him eventually. Leading to your fourth paragraph where you talk about how the principal didn’t do much. So your effort had little immediate effect. Then in your fifth paragraph you could talk how even though the tanks went around him, the photo still has an effect. Just like you, in the 6th paragraph, where after another complaint about your coach, the principal had to do something about the coach. The important part here is the weave. Make connections between your photo and yourself.
Alternatively take a look at the photo of Buzz Aldrin’s footprint on the moon and compare it to you coming to the university. Maybe you are a first generation college student. You can parallel the difficulties that the Apollo 11 mission participants faced with the difficulties that you may have faced to come to the university. Start with the calculations needed to land a human being on the moon. Compare that to how you had to figure out your GPA and what schools you could attend. Then go to funding. How did the space program get funded? Then compare that to how you had to figure out how to pay for school. Make this a point by point comparison.
Possible Intro
“When Buzz Aldrin stepped off the Lunar Module Eagle, he was stepping into unknown territory. He didn’t know what might happen to him as no one had ever been to the moon before. He must have been scared and wildly excited at the same time. This is exactly how I felt when stepping on to the campus here at EMU for the first time”.
Possible Talking Points

Paragraph one-NASA had to first convince the public that space travel was worthwhile.
Paragraph two- I had to convince my family that college makes sense. Not an easy thing to do with a dad who is a plumber
Paragraph three- NASA had to do the calculations on how exactly to get a person to the moon and back.
Paragraph four- I had to figure out how I could go to college with a 2.6 GPA
Paragraph five- NASA had to figure out how they were going to raise the funds needed to accomplish such a monumental task.
Paragraph six- I had to asses my finances and consider scholarships and student loans.

Hopefully these examples help you.
