1.22 - Finding Images

Warm-Up (10 min)

P.O.T.D.

Q.O.T.D.:

Open your article (for your server, or copy from your blog on to a pages document) the highlighted article you downloaded from last class.

Part 1 - Project Flowchart (5 min)

Look at the flowchart to see where we are going on our next step and where we’ll go after that.

Part 2 - Citing an Image (30 min)

Use Purdue University’s MLA style guide as your guide to citing your electronic imges:

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/

1. Look for an image together.

2. Download the full size image

3. Collect the following information on your citations document you created last class (if you don’t have one, open pages and start one!).

Here are the necessary elements of a citation (according to Purdue, stuff inside the parenthesis are my own):

1. Provide the artist's name, (if no name given, give website name)

2. the work of art italicized, (if name is not known, provide whatever shows up when viewing the full size image, for instance (in bold):
http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/jan2010/8/0/leogane-haiti-pic-dm-ian-vogler-745564000.jpg)

3. the date of creation, (the date the work/photo was created, or, the date of the article the images was embedded in if no date is apparent).

4. the institution and city where the work is housed. (leave blank if you are citing a photo - which you probably are!)

5. Follow this...with the name of the Website in italics,

the medium of publication, (Web)

and the date of access. (the date you downloaded it, TODAY!)

Here is an example of what that will look like for this image (typing in haiti earthquake in the GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH):

And here is the citation:

Ward, Victoria. Untitled. 2010. http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/jan2010/8/0/leogane-haiti-pic-dm-ian-vogler-745564000.jpg. Web. 22 Jan, 2010.

I used the following information:

Last Name, First Name. Title. Date of creation. URL of image. Medium of retrieval. Date of access.

Post this photo with the citation to your blog for credit.

Part 2 - Use the article from last class to find images. (55 min)

Last class you downloaded an article and highlighted important passages (quotes and sensory details) from it. Use those highlighted terms as your search terms (or change them for better results) to find AT LEAST 10 high quality images and citations (that is budgeting about 5 min per image and citation).

This is an individual task, so, unless you are a new student or you are helping a new student, there should NOT be much conversation in the class.

SAVE YOUR 10 IMAGES AND CITATIONS IN YOUR TEXT TO IMAGE FOLDER AND TO YOUR STUDENT SERVER. IF YOU ARE A NEW STUDENT I HAVE GIVEN THE TEACHER YOUR STUDENT SERVER USERNAMES AND PASSWORDS. ASK A VETERAN STUDENT TO HELP YOU LOG-IN.

IF, FOR SOME REASON, YOU CANNOT ACCESS YOUR SERVER, SAVE TO A FLASH DRIVE, A FRIENDS SERVER, OR POST TO YOUR BLOG. NO EXCUSES ON THIS ONE!
