Course+English+3U+Summative+Kite+Runner+Photo+Essay

** The Kite Runner ** ** Purpose:  ** To enable you to demonstrate what you have learned about the work you have studied independently in a manner that focuses on understanding connections, producing a media text (in this case, a photo essay), and communicating your ideas orally. ** Task:  ** Your task is to create a ** photo essay ** that combines ** 8-10 important // quotations or phrases //which relate to your topic. These must be accompanied with **the ** same number of // images // **, incorporating** // music // ** that connects to both the words and the images. You may use Movie Maker, Power Point or any other software that works for you. However, it is highly recommended that you download and use Microsoft ** Photostory **, as this software has been designed specifically for the purpose of combining images, text and music in an evocative manner. It is both simple to use and highly effective, and it can be downloaded for free from the following link: [] Once you have created your photo essay, you must ** prepare speaking notes ** that enable you to explain in detail, each slide with reference to the research and analysis you have done on your topic as well as any relevant and (factual or abstract) ideas which you wish to convey.  a) how each image relates to the words and how both serve to enhance the understanding of your topic  b) why the quotation or phrase is important within the context of your work  c) why you chose or created the particular piece of music used in your photo essay in terms of its connection to your work studied and the images and quotations of your photo essay.   Both the photo essay you create and the oral presentation of its elements should open the door for an engaging ** discussion with the class ** about the work you have studied. The ** presentation ** is an opportunity to demonstrate your deep understanding of your topic, your sophisticated thinking about the essential information about your topic, and your ability to use both a media text and your own voice to communicate your ideas.     When selecting your quotations and images, try to stay away from the obvious, as simple images and connections will not allow you to achieve a high level of insight. For example, a picture of a child only wearing shoes who lives in a tent is obvious. A picture of a rubber tire in the garbage and a child in a refugee camp wearing only black rubber flip flops is perhaps a bit more thought provoking. Put a Porsche tire beside it all, and your point has more impact. * To ** introduce your photo essay **, you will give a brief introduction to topic and the parameters of your topic (ie. areas or countries of the world which you will focus upon, the Organization and its mandate, the implications or effects of your topic on the world or Canada, the questions or factors you will address    To ** conclude your presentation ** you must relate how your understanding of your selected topic developed as you worked on the summative. In essence, what did you learn through this project? Also, suggest some of the parallels which surface between your topic and the book The Kite Runner. Your topic may or may not be very different from any of the issues explored in this novel; however, you should at least be able to comment on the impact, intensity, or complexity of your social issue and how in this sense, it is relevant to The Kite Runner.    Questions and Discussion: This is an important component of your presentation. You should confidently inspire discussion and answer question knowledgeably. ** Project Steps and Timelines:  ** ** Step One:  ** Selection of 8-10 key quotations or phrases and development of your explanation about why they are important. ** Step Two:  ** Selection of images related to your quotation and words that demonstrate sophisticated thinking about your topic. ** Step Three:  ** Development of your photo essay linking your quotations with your images including the incorporation of music. ** Step Four:  ** Writing your speaking notes and rehearsing your presentation. ** Step Five:  ** Presenting your photo essay to the class. Your presentation must be at least // ten minutes in duration (including the essay) //. It will be evaluated according to the attached achievement checklist. **__ 3U Summative Photo Essay Presentation Achievement Checklist __** Does the photo essay presentation demonstrate: In-depth **//knowledg//**//e// of the topic studied? **// Understanding //** topic studied as they relate to the selected images and music of the photo essay? **K/U ** /10 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________   **// Planning and organization //** of the presentation with a focus on highly meaningful quotations and phrases? **// Interpretation //** of quotations and words and their connection with the images and music selected? ** // Critical thinking  // ** used to develop photo essay content suitable for a sophisticated media text? **T/I ** /10 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________   **// Clear expression and organization of ideas //** within the presentation? ** // Engaging and meaningful  // ** discussion of ideas raised by the photo essay? ** // Quality of photo essay presentation  // ** in terms of media conventions and oral presentation elements (intonation, inflection, projection,     composure)?  **C ** /10 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________  **  Application  ** of topic knowledge, media production skills, selection of text and image and oral communication strategies resulting in an engaging and informative presentation?
