ENG 121 - reading from The Sun for week of 11/12

Find an article from The Sun (hard copy or online—doesn’t matter). Before you read it, look at it carefully and notice the design elements, such as

• How the title looks (consider font, type size, arrangement)
• How the text of the article looks (consider font, type size, columns, headings or subheadings, arrangement)
• Other visual elements (consider photos or artwork, graphics such as lines or circles that may appear in the margins, etc.)

Then read the article, noting how the design elements affect your understanding of what you’re reading. For example, certain design elements can cause you to read more quickly or slowly. Blog about your findings before our next class meeting (Nov. 19).
