The Multiple Media of Texts (Wysocki)

1. How can two different media, newspaper & online news, for example, serve the same purpose of presenting factual information but do so in a different manner? What visual representations work/do not work on a Web site/screen? What visual representations work/do not work for print/pages?

2. Think of a Web Site you visit often. Go to that Web site & describe what catches your attention first, second & third? Can you explain why?

3. Do you agree or disagree that elements such as color, shape, photographs, charts & graphs, animations, video & sound, drawings & paintings, etc. are used to target a specific audience? Can you give an example of how a children's book may differ in appearance from an adult's book?
