  • Compile several online bibliographic resources pertinent to this week’s topic, especially resources that you yourself (the learner) found helpful or that you think other learners who will take this class in the future will find helpful.  You must follow the proper (MLA, Chicago, APA, etc) form.
  • We’ve now read about the history of tomatoes, corn, and lima beans. Design a multimedia lesson or lecture that brings these histories together in a way that is interesting to you and others like you. Tell me how and why you made the choices you’ve made to approach this story. 
  • Create a podcast based on locally accessible resources or individuals pertinent to this lesson.  This could be good for, say, sustainability, or food systems, or women and gender studies, or immigration …
  • Find an online gallery or cultural center, identify a work or object there that has something to do with this class or is relevant to this lesson and write a short paragraph of 300 words explaining why you chose it and how/ why it illustrates the objective you were asked to illustrate.
  • Imagine several different historical personages in conversation with each other talking about a specific topic. Create social media profiles for them, and then construct that conversation as a series of tweets or posts on Facebook  (there are online tools to simulate these).
  • Design an Instagram story that brings together and illustrates these resources, concepts, or theories. Create a text script for that story.
  • Create an infographic to compare and contrast this and that approach to the central objective of this week’s lesson. Create a text description of the infographic.
  • Use an online “cartooning” tool to illustrate and explain the key points of this week’s subject to someone who knows nothing about it. Do this by text, describing your characters and what they think and say. 
  • We’ve been examining the problem of bird death rates across the world for some time now. Choose a specific migration pattern, collect any data that is available in online archives or resources, possibly our textbook information bank, and create a poster using a single Power-Point PowerPoint or Google slide to demonstrate a possible plan to re-energize the bird population on your chosen migration route. Please attach a single page, typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, Times New Roman font, approximately 350 words explaining why you believe your choices will be effective.
  • Using your phone or a camera on a computer, take a video of yourself dancing the steps we’ve been working on. Analyze your performance considering alignment, coordination, clarity, artistry, and adaptability in 500 words.
  • Think back to a time when we used larger studio equipment in class. Describe how you felt positioning that equipment; what choices did you make? What information did you draw on to make those choices? If you had to do it again, what would you do differently to make your experience better? To make the experience of your viewers better? To make the experiences of your team-mates better?
