Teaching The Power Of Pictures, Rachel Speranza

KUCC -- Kutztown University Composition Conference

The perfect picture can spread like a wildfire across all social media platforms. Pictures have the power to change someone’s mood, political opinion, and even advocate for change on the other side of the world.
