Monday 11-26: Tell Me a Story

Greetings, and welcome back!!!

Today, I want you to make use of what you have collected so far while researching your chosen culture. You will use this material to tell me a story. That story will be about a member or object which is part of the culture you have chosen for your topic. Here are the ground rules

A) The story must be told from a "first person" point of view. This means, for the purpose of your story, that you ARE that person, or you ARE that cultural artifact

B) You must make use of the following facts which you have collected, researched or told me about thus far

C) That's at least a total of 23  keywords from "Speakin' the Lingo"

D) Plus a mention of each one of the eight icons you profiled for  "Icons" assignment

E) plus at least six of the patterns you discerned during the "lather rinse repeat" assignment

F) And of course, a mention of at least least 11 aspects of your culture from sets of facts gathered during "Topic guidelines". By the way, if you didn't finish the assignments previous to this, it'll make it much harder to do this properly, so you'd better get those other assignments done first

G) You must also include at least four images that have to do with your culture... anything as long as they are school appropriate

H) You may use any format -- A Word document, PowerPoint, even a webpage if you know how to create such a thing

I) Make it exciting..gripping... NOT BORING. This is YOUR culture you are talking about..... if you make that boring, or get cheap on me in any way, it means you WANT to fail. And I'm not having that.

J) If it makes it easier, you can arrange a conflict between yourselves and one of those "inferior cultures" you profiled during the "diversity vs superiority" assignment

J) Each person involved in a project must send me their own copy, either by email or through Box.com.  No excuses

Good Luck, and have a great week off. See you on the other side

Cheers,
Mr. L
