EEBO-TCP Choose one of the illustrations from Hariot’s A briefe and true report of the new found land of Virginia. Read the description, then click on “view page image” to see the illustration. Having done so, list five characteristics found in the illustration: what the illustration is. Next, list what Hariot’s description suggests the image is about. Compare the two lists and try to locate a moment in which your perception/interpretation of what the image is contrasts with, complements, or provides another interesting intersection with what Hariot says the image is about. Write one paragraph discussing this intersection between the two lists. We will devote one class to oral presentations of your findings. Discussion of exercise: This exercise encourages students to closely read both an image and the related text. To do so they can make use of TCP’s legible text and the “view page” feature allowing them to see the original page and illustration. |
