Generate a multi-media project comparing and contrasting the points of view of one of the character pairs below:
Edna and Adele
Edna and Mademoiselle Reisz
Aunt Jennifer and the Quinceanera
Edna and Barbie
When comparing and contrasting point of view, focus on the following ideas:
How is the story modified when looking through the eyes of another character?
On what does each character focus?
How do the reader's feelings or connections to the work change when the point of view is adjusted?
Is the meaning of the larger work changed when the point of view is altered?
Your project may be created using a software program such as Microsoft PowerPoint or Publisher, or you may choose to create your project digitally.
Digital story-telling is a relatively new and popular art form in which individuals use digital materials like pictures, video, music, etc., to create a story. Choosing this option will necessitate that you know how to create and edit digital materials and have a place to house your digital creation. You would then provide your instructor with the link to view your project. Keep in mind the appropriate way to handle copyright issues and to protect an artist's creative and intellectual property:
For educational purposes, you are allowed to use 10% of a copyrighted material. That means only a small portion of an artist's song can be used. Only a small portion of an author's work can be used, and credit needs to be given to the artist in a Works Cited page at the end of the project. Review the lesson on works cited in the cookbook. Contact your instructor with any questions on the issue.
