PLEASE IM SUPER STUCK :(

Respond to Curtis Wilkie's article, "Words Triumph Over Images." You may agree or disagree with any of the author's points as long as you take a firm stand. Support your opinion by comparing and contrasting sources about Hurricane Katrina. You must find at least one of these sources through outside research. The other source may be a reading from the lesson or another outside source. The two sources must represent two contrasting media: text versus images, video versus radio, and so on.
Focus on the following points of comparison:
• How the medium used in each source affects the way the information is conveyed
• How differences in each author's words and phrases, including figurative language and connotations, affect the source's tone and meaning
• How each author builds his or her points or central ideas by arranging sentences, paragraphs, and sections in a certain way
Finally, write your argument in a formal, objective way that follows the conventions of whatever application you choose: essay, debate, and so on.
How you go about this project is up to you, but consider one of the following options:

Option 1: Write an editorial of your own in response to Curtis Wilkie's. Follow the formal conventions of a specific periodical, such as the Nieman Reports, and present your argument in an objective way. To support your argument for or against Wilkie's editorial, compare and contrast two sources about Hurricane Katrina, focusing on the effects of media and word choice and the way sentences, paragraphs, and sections are organized.

Option 2: Write an essay that compares and contrasts the effects of media, word choice, and topic organization to support an argument either for or against the major points in Curtis Wilkie's editorial. Your essay should be formal and objective in tone and follow standard essay conventions: an introduction with a claim or thesis, body paragraphs that present evidence, and a conclusion that wraps up the argument.

Option 3: Engage in a classroom debate about the central points of Curtis Wilkie's editorial. Focus on the effects of media, word choice, and topic organization by comparing and contrasting two sources about Hurricane Katrina. Prepare two cases, one that agrees with Wilkie and one that disagrees, so that you can debate a variety of partners in your class. Follow the formal conventions of an established debate style, such as Lincoln-Douglas.
