You will create a visual aide in order to present your show, game, or site in a creative way--do a skit, share a video (all videos should be uploaded to youtube or vimeo so they can be played easily in class), utilize the internet, visual aids/posters, etc.
You may not bring laptops the day of the presentation, but you may upload to the web and present from the in class computer. Please do not present anything that requires a flash drive or downloading as we do not have time to set up in class.
Quickly slapped together print outs or scrawled drawings will receive no credit. You may not present a creative aide that was not made by you.
Some questions you should ask yourself as you create your project: how does my show/game/site differ from those we studied in class? How does it utilize its genre in a new, creative way? Who is its audience? Think critically, too, about how your show/game/site reflects certain cultural attitudes and values. Give us specific details about the framework of the show/game/site. What inspired you, and why? How did this class help you to think about popular culture in new ways?
Additionally, please answer the above questions in an essay format, 3-5 pages in length, and present them to the class as well. You may choose to present them in a creative way or a more straightforward way, but they must be answered directly. Being able to critically analyze your own work, as we've critically analyzed the work in this course, is imperative to your success on this assignment.
Apply at least six quotes from in class notes or the books we read in class.
You may choose to directly quote or paraphrase, but do include a Works Cited page.
Can't wait to see what you do.
