Today, we started off by meeting in The Pit, where we were introduced to our brief. We found out that we would focusing on the aspect of 'Ihi Wehi', and we'd be applying this to poster design. The aim is to explore the use of rhetorical approaches to conceptually interpret and communicate a societal issue. Following the introductory lecture, we headed on up to our class, and were introduced to our lecturers.
After further discussing the brief in a bit more depth, we started to brainstorm some key words and points relevant to each of the two topics. Topic one revolving around whether or not the NZ flag should be changed, while topic two was arguing which was a better education system, private schools or public schools. For the rest of the class we had been split up into groups, in which we had to plan arguments for our debates which would take place tomorrow. We stayed behind for an extra half hour or so after class to get in a bit of research and try to decide upon a few strong points that we can use, and how to rebuttal the opposing arguments and statements.
Overnight I'll continue to look for some statistics and key points for tomorrow's debate session, as well as complete the homework, which was find a minimum of three examples of persuasive posters.
