  1. This assignment has three tasks, with three parts for each task. First, define the term (Calligram, Pictogram, and Rebus). Second, post and give a captioned description of 3 picture examples. And third, copy and explain the two examples given on the class blog. Here, you have one picture example and a descriptive definition, which is insufficient. Please revise and send me a notification of your changes via email.
    Thank you.
