Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!

While reading this particular article, I felt like I could appreciate more the message by looking at the photographs.
She uses the images to help us see and feel what she is writing about. I found it very interesting how this black family lived and how happy the looked just living life. The multimodal part of this was very intriguing. I liked how after explaining the journey she went through then showing the photos she saw was very touching.
Using images and writing at the same time really catches reader’s attention. I like using images and my own perspective because I feel like it helps me express easily and clearly.
