Children of the Sküll wanted students to see how the media creates narratives for public figures, so we redesigned each of the projects to develop their understanding and ability to navigate media rhetoric, while still achieving all of the 1101 outcomes. It was a great project.
We did not abandon our first idea. Honestly. Alan will tell you what really happened. We decided that our first idea wasn’t helpful enough, you know? It wasn’t giving enough back to FYC.
So we designed THE GREAT GIVING BACK PROJECT * *We’d like to dedicate this project to all our fans. Yeah, we’re talking to you, FYCers - this one is for you guys.
TTHE GREAT GIVING BACK PROJECT The Great Giving Back Project is a compilation of writing prompts, organized and titled so that their purpose and connection to the relevant project is clear. Each band member took the outcomes for a project, and designed a series of writing prompts around those outcomes. Forthwith**:
*Some of these prompts are for in-class writing, and some are for out of class writing: They require the student to prepare by reading, listening, or watching longer works. Some require the instructor to show videos in class. Each prompt, however, is marked according to its requirements. *As far as time requirements go, most prompts can be tweaked to stretch or shrink into whatever length you need them to be.
We created these prompts, and then grouped them into a sort of cross-referenced folder system thingy, Organized by project as well as whether or not the prompt necessitated outside preparation on the part of the student. Each prompt is saved individually – our intent was that each file could be added to the website. An instructor would only have to look at the title of the file to see whether or not the prompt was appropriate for their class, then download the file, print out 22 copies, and head to class. * *What follows are the titles of each prompt, not the prompt itself.
