Biography Project: Day 4

Use the time in lab to work on your biography project. By now, you should be ready to write.

Your project (to be complete) should be:
  • well written
  • entertaining
  • Be at least 750-1,000 words (it can be longer, if you need it to be; it should not really be any shorter than that; that's about 3-5 pages, double spaced) 
  • Your work should have a catchy title
  • You need at least 1 picture or graphic that goes along with your subject (with a short caption)
  • Your project should include your works cited page. Look here for assistance if you need it.
  • Proofread and add better crafted writing after you write the first draft. Prepare your paper to turn in soon (Monday's class, for example).
Remember there is a TASK TWO to your project: Biography Photo Series

Step 1: Choose a subject for a photo series (not the same one you wrote about in your first task). This should be someone you can follow around or someone who you have some normal contact with. It can be a friend, a relative, a community member, etc. I suggest someone that is good (as opposed to the subject in Task One).

Step 2: With your cell phone or a camera, shoot 5 photos that you will arrange to communicate some artistic message to the world. See previous Photo Analysis assignment for assistance.

Step 3: Arrange your photos for class viewing. This could be a Prezi, a Powerpoint, a Padlet, or simply a document with your photos.

Step 4: Give your photo sequence a title.

Step 5: Write a brief 100-300 word explanation of your series. What are you attempting to show and/or comment on through your photography? Most photographic series have a point or comment about society, the subject, or humanity in general. What's your message? Explain it.

Aim to complete your work by end of class Monday. You will have more time next class to work, but don't waste your time! Please do not bother/distract other students if you don't want to work today.

If you finish early, take a look at these cartoons:
Propaganda is the idea or statement (often false or exaggerated/hyperbole...) that are spread culturally in order to help a cause, a political leader or party, a government, or any established institution.

HOMEWORK: None. You should be ready to complete your first draft of your biography project by the end of class Monday.
