Literacy Essentials – FINAL
Due June 6
You will present a summary of your paper (the job you researched and investigated). You should include basics like what the job is, why you are interested in it, and how you plan on getting there. You should be prepared to answer some questions.
The other thing that I’d like you to do is do something creative related to your findings/your job. This is pretty open-ended and pretty much up to you.
For example,
Sports photography: Go take pictures of sports practice/a real sports event and put together a “story” with pictures. Two seniors and a freshman are going to state for tennis. They are practicing this week. Take pictures of them and see what happens.
Nursing: Borrow a camera from Mr. Ko and go interview a real nurse (school nurse) Polly Elliott and ask her what the job is like, pros and cons of the job, and make a little video.
Film Directing: Show examples from your favorite movies and your favorite directors. Talk about what styles of movies you like and why.
Chef: Create a poster/picture collage that explains/shows the different kinds of cooks/people who work in a kitchen: sous chef, the executive chef, the line cook, the saucier, the sommelier, etc.
Engineer: Give a small-scale demonstration of an engineering project. Lead the class in a small project (building a tower out of newspapers, making a bridge with popsicle sticks).
Police officer: Put together a mix CD of songs related to police work, being a law enforcement officer, working in crime, and other themes related to police work (high stress, the responsibility of carrying a gun, etc.). Give a copy to everyone in class.
OR
ANYTHING ELSE CREATIVE OF YOUR CHOICE, JUST LET ME KNOW.
You will have a few days to work on this in class but you are also expected to work on this project at home, on your free time. Once again, this entire project (the paper, the creative product, the presentation) will be your FINAL GRADE for this class.
