Anticipating Sampling Project

I have to admit, at first I was a bit apprehensive about the sampling project. I wasn't quite sure what we were supposed to do or where are thoughts were supposed to come from. After class on Wednesday, I got a much clearer understanding of what a "visual argument" entails. It is not quite what I expected; the example in class seemed like just a simple picture to me. While there were some clear ides being represented, it was hard to get the exact concept the author was representing without his/her presence. I would assume that a good visual argument may be clear, however I think that there is always room for personal interpretation.

Also, I expected the picture to be more of a collage than this one. I was brainstorming ideas for my own project and it was alot of combining ideas or quotes from the reading into a large collage, but now I think I am going to take a different path; I'm not giving that away though. =)

Just for fun, I was going to use a poll to ask a question but I don't think there is a way you all can type in your own answers. So here are two questions, I am a huge nerd and love Halloween, post your answers on the comments if you so desire!! What are you going to be for Halloween? What was your best costume ever?

Haha, I just saw this post otherwise I would have responded sooner! This year I was not very creative and had to come up with something on the last minute so I went as a referee. My best costume was when I was in the 6th or 7th grade...my friend and I went as a piece of candy corn. We made the costume out of construction paper, it was pretty hilarious!
