Is the theme that the image produces relevant to the theme of my argument?
I want the images to evoke the importance of protecting Oak Flat, especially for recreational purposes. I also want an image to evoke distrust of Mccain and Flake and to highlight the tactics that they used to open the area to mining.
Does the image inform or emphasize my argument in an important way?
My plan for my project is to use images in the same way that the genre typically uses them. I will use a couple key images to evoke the natural beauty of Oak Flat, as well as one of the rock climbing there.
Is the image in close proximity to the argument that it is emphasizing or illustrating?
I plan to place images close to the parts of the argument that they are connected with. I will put an image of rock climbing at oak flat next to the paragraph about the climbing there. I will do this for all of my images.
Do the different textual and visual elements come together as a whole?
Ideally they will. It will be easier to answer this question after I actually write the article and put the images in. If they don't, I will do some revision to make sure that they do.
Are your images sequenced in the most powerful way possible?
I plan to sequence images in a way that builds up the natural beauty of Oak Flat in reader's minds, and then shows what it might look like after mining. I want to visually illustrate what will be lost if the mine is built.
Are blocks of text broken up by images?
I will make sure to break up the text with images. That's a convention of the genre that I'm writing in, so it's especially important.

Hi Michaela. You provide very clear answers, and your answers show that you have a good plan on what you will write for your project. I think that the images will spark interest in the reader.
