SOCIAL PROBLEMS VISUAL/PHOTO ESSAY PROJECT Images have been presented throughout your text to capture the human experience of social problems. The photos help to illustrate specific issues and have provided you with an opportunity to reflect about social problems, particularly those affecting you and your community. Now you will have the opportunity to construct your own visual essay. Instructions This assignment offers you an opportunity to create your own visual essay to capture and reflect one specific social problem. For this exercise, you will need to select a series of 10 photos that document/illustrate a particular social problem. You may choose the social problem you will focus on for this assignment. You will discuss how you define the problem (refer to chapter 1 in your textbook) as well as present images that illustrate the social problem. The photos used for this assignment can be collected in several ways: You may not shoot your own photos for this project or use personal photos. You may use photos through published sources (e.g., books). You may also search websites for photos. (google images, corbis.com, ditto.com, etc… Please note: You must document where you obtained the photos by providing source, ID number (if available), photographer (if known) and publisher/website address.
