Non-Fiction Group Project Due Thursday, October 23

Non-Fiction Group Project Instructions

Project Instructions: While reading your non-fiction book, you kept track in your journals of how individuals or groups of people were identified, categorized or discriminated against based on their gender, age, social class, religion, race, and national origin.  You also paid close attention to who had privilege and why, and who were the oppressed and why.  Another aspect you were to consider was how people define themselves and how they were defined by others and were different from others.  Now, you need to share what you noted with your partners and create a group project that visually reflects what you’ve learned.  You also need to have a connection to at least one of the other texts we have read, viewed, or listened to during this unit.  You will present this to the class.

How you do this is up to you, but here are some formatting suggestions: a scrapbook; a painting; pop-up book; video; musical performance where you create your own lyrics, and even better, a tune to go with it; a PowerPoint; a Prezi; found art.  Try to do something new that challenges you or something you’ve learned in another class that can be practiced through this project.

Requirements: Form a group of 2 or 3 people with those who have read the same book as you.  Somewhere in the project you need to have the following: 3 quotes from your book, 3 images that reflect ideas, concepts, or characters in your book, 3 connections to other works (these can be written, implied, or symbolically represented for example).  Your grade will also be based on your contribution to the project, the perceived care given to the project, and professional production.  You are also required to complete a final reflection on your personal growth while doing the project.  No one will receive credit for the group project without this personal reflection.
