Stereotype Mini-Video Research Project - Class 8-421 ONLY! - Due 6.4.14

Hello 8-421,


Video Q & A summary draft due on 6.4.14.
Final Video due June 6, 2014.


Please do the following:


What is the question or topic about stereotypes you want to defend?


Why is this issue so important to you?


In which format will you defend it? (i.e. documentary, play, etc.)
Why was this format more effective over other format choices?
How will you incorporate the isolation and discrimination experiences of the character Ha in your video?


How many people are in your group? What are their names?


What role does each person have in the group? Explain using valid details (3-5 complete sentences)


What are the highlights of your video? (i.e. scenes, breakthroughs, "aha" light-bulb moments for the individuals in your video) Basically, which segments of your video tells the story, exploits the truth candidly, genuinely and honestly.


Which sources did you use to help you develop your project? (staple the source list provided to you last week to this draft. All students received one therefore each person's source list should be attached to the draft.)


Which sources were the most helpful? Why?

Reminder: You must have a Q & A session either after or in between your video segments. Have at least 2- 3 thought provoking questions for class discussion about the concept of discrimination, isolation, racism that Ha experienced and the evidence provided in your video. Students must be able to draw conclusions and make connections from your video and from the text during discussion. Therefore, prepare yourselves for this analytical Q & A session.




Include any other information that you find important or necessary for me to know.


Please note that the question asked, "How will I grade your video if the marking period ends on the 4th?" It will not be due on the 10th but on June 6th as I had debated with you last week. I apologize for confusing it with the date to implement the start of your resume (volunteer work). As mentioned, last week, we will be extremely BUSY this month and I will have to incorporate as much as possible within the next couple of weeks. Therefore, stretching the due date into next week would not be wise. However, if you do have any concerns about this date, I hope you don't, but if  you do, please email me.


We will still have work to do but it should not be as intense or inundated prior to this month work we have done. Please note however, it will be graded and can be used for any promotional reasons for high school.


By the way, you may have thought the room was warm today, but this was mild compared to how it feels with high humidity and when it is in the high 80's and 90's. Therefore, bring at least two bottles of frozen water with you to class, especially on the days you have gym.




If you have any questions, please email me at thereadingcafe@aol.com M-F before 7pm or call Dial-A-Teacher for assistance in other subject areas M-F between 4-7pm @ 212.777.3380.
