Fabulous photo project by Rene Türk

BOW 

This is in downtown Tartu :)














Things to look for and discuss:
What kind of GIs does this illustrate?
Analyse at least one as you would analyse a photo, and one as you would analyse an advert.
How would you talk about it if the focus is on the GI?
Find out more about the artist.
What kind of poems by Carol Ann Duffy could you connect this to (through the topic and any GI)?
Write the introductory 1-minute introduction to this BOW as if you were using it for your IO.
This should end up in your portfolio. A document with the photos is also available on Tera.

War (work in progress)

War photographer by Carol Ann Duffy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVWQRJcCeJk
Task (should have been done in class): 1) summarise each stanza in 1 sentence, 2) mark the places where the tome shifts in the poem, and add at least one adjective to describe the tone in each fragment, 3) What does the poem say about war? 4) How would you word a global issue on the basis of this? 5) mark at least 5 literary devices you would use to inform about the GI. 6) See what of the following analysis helps you to add to your annotation:
