Details

Assessments: Student reflections/journals, Student discussions, Student writing

 

Description

In small groups, spend time examining the different examples/models (Griffin and Sabine, One Survivor Remembers, McSweeney's 19, Montage Images, The Whalphin, Speak, So You Can Speak Again...)
For each example/model:
* What do you see?
* What kind of correspondence is this?
* What is being communicated? By whom? To whom? Why?
* What do you like about this examples/model? (physically, story wise, interaction, color, writing, etc...)
* What ideas would you like to 'borrow' for your own project?

Create a class list of possibilities

Look over and reflect upon the wealth of writing and creation you have already done on the Search for Meaning Project (scrapbook, writings, letters, drawings, reflections, etc...). With the current project in mind, think about the following:
* What of your own work stands out to you as being of value? As having said something important? Relevant? Meaningful?
* What work would you like to re-visit, re-fine, or improve upon?
* What of this work that you have already done seems to lend itself to being included in this project?

Create a class list of possibilities
Think for a little while about your interests, strengths and the talents you possess that you can use to contribute to this project (be specific!): Collage? Comics? Writing? Writing "in character"? Performance? Design? Flash? Keynote? Photography? Music? Drawing? Painting? ??????

Mapping Your Ideas: Using the colored stickies you've received, write out each of your different ideas.
* Yellow: Written ideas of things to include in project
* Green: Technological Arts ideas of things to include in your project
* Pink: Visual Arts & Artifact ideas of things to include in your project

Set up groups (unless choosing to work independently)
