I know you’re all super tired, but keep going! The end of this class is near. Here’s everything you need to know about your final presentations:
Once you complete your video, make sure each of you upload it to Youtube and submit your link and final memo to Canvas! (Remember, EACH group member needs to complete a memo, buds!)
In a 2-3 page memo, answer the following questions about your media documentary:
- Describe your process using person-based research methods. How did you go about gathering data and how
was this experience different from traditional research? - What did you like about this project? What would you do differently?
- How and why did you go about building a video documentary? What problems did you encounter? What was most fun or stressful?
- How did you use course ideas (social construction theory, etc) and secondary research from your RQ II paper to inform your video project?
- What audience do you think this video could reach? Where could you circulate this video and what do you hope viewers think about or do in response to your research?
Use your answers to plan your 10 minute presentation during which you are required to address the following:
- Show your mini research documentary to the class
- Explain both the original argument AND the process, purpose, and new audience of your qualitative or quantitative research
- Reflect on the digital composing practice and what you might do with it in the future
- Include a 1-2 page handout (one copy is fine) covering your main points (use images if you can!)
Remember, this presentation should make creative use of course readings, lectures, outside media, etc – to briefly teach the class about the public identity issue your work addresses AND the process of using person based research!
