Just did this online assignment and it worked well: "On the following pages are 12 covers of mainstream news magazines from the 1980s that are devoted to the HIV/AIDS crisis. (By mainstream, I mean that these are weekly, commercial newsmagazines aimed at a general audience.)"
"Choose three of the covers and look at them closely, taking into account the date. For each of the three covers, write a paragraph analysis of 2-4 sentences.
"To get you started, here are some questions to ask yourself: At what point in the early history of the AIDS epidemic was this document created? What is going onon the magazine cover? What images, colors, and words are used to represent the topic?
"How do the editors try to attract the reader’s interestin purchasing/reading the article inside? What emotions does the cover evoke? What is included and what is left unstated or unclear?"
Here are the covers, all from 1983 to 1987. I may do a "round two" using later ones.
