Playboy Roasted á la Edo

Expressing an opinion and persuading others to see the validity of that opinion by marshalling evidence and crafting words is a necessary skill for participating in a society that values the open exchange of ideas. With that purpose in mind, students will compose a response to the texts we have read in Unit 2, focusing on “close reading” of an image or visual-verbal text.

Task:

Select one prompt below. Then, write a response of 500 to 750 words. Submit the response in Canvas by Friday.

-How does SANTŌ Kyōden critique society in Playboy Roasted á la Edo? Include a close analysis of an image, text, or visual-verbal element in your response.
