CL311 GRAFFITI PROJECT CHECKLIST

TECHNICAL ASPECTS

 Is the photograph legible?

 Is the text transcribed according to epigraphic conventions?

• [ ] indicates letters originally in the text but no longer visible
• ( ) indicates an abbreviation in the original text
• { } indicates superfluous letters in the original text
• < > indicates letters omitted by mistake in the original text

 Is the text presented clearly as a piece of graffiti?

 Is the text described in detail, and is proper attention given to orthography, palaeography and grammar?

 Does the project carry the name of the author(s), the date and a title? If the project is collaborative, has each author made clear his or her contribution, or is the entire project the result of collaboration?

ANALYTICAL ASPECTS

 Does the analysis include social, cultural, linguistic and aesthetic aspects of the graffito?

 If there are texts or images that accompany the original graffito, are they visible and accessible in the on-line presentation of the graffito so that they serve as evidence to support the analysis?

 Does the analysis consider the medium (both the surface and the stylus) and the provenance of the graffito in the analysis?

 Were all the analytical elements of the assignment met successfully?

CREATIVE ASPECTS

 Is the choice of graffito imaginative, and does it allow for a thorough analysis in social, cultural, linguistic and aesthetic terms?

 Does the analysis itself demonstrate some creative thought?

I will grade the projects on Monday morning; you may send me any changes until 9am. The assessment of your work on this project will substitute for the quizzes, worth 10% of the final grade.
