What To Include in Your Essay
 Unpack Ledesma’s arguments from the visual text: what’s his points or messages (there may be more
than one!)
 How do the images make that argument? (Think about: foreground, background, color and shading,
individual images, distance between images, relationship between images and background, empty
space, people: expressions, body language, clothes, activities)
 If there is text, how does the text make that argument?
 What appeals or techniques does the author use to make his argument?
 What is the context of the argument? (Use two additional scholarly research articles from the MVC
databases to provide context and information on DACA/immigration in the United States)
