Houston Community College Slavery and the poetic works of Phillis Wheatley HW Multimedia project assignment of a particular issue or text we have discussed in class. ENGL Literature
Multi Media Project. Worth 150 points.
For your final project you are required to create a multimedia project that focuses on a particular topic we have
discussed so far in the semester. This is a creative, academic project that allows you to work within a variety of
mediums rather than putting your ideas/arguments into a research essay. Instead, you will elaborate on a specific
aspect of a literature topic through any creative genre: video, film, drawing, sculpture, PowerPoint, short story,
comic strip, photography, etc. You can choose any genre to work within as long as you meet the requirements.
In the past some of the really different projects have been: a stop motion animation with Legos, a painting or
artwork, old clothes re-designed into newer clothes, a song with lyrics (performed), video mash ups, fan fiction,
etc.
In addition to the creative component you will write a 3-paragraph description that accompanies the project. See
details below.

Requirements:
The project needs to be focused on a particular issue or text we have discussed in class. For example, if you
want to examine representations of gender across different texts we have read, you can create a PowerPoint that
does so. Or, if you want to create a piece of artwork that depicts a character from a text, you may. If you have
questions, please email me or post in the Q&A Discussion area. If you email questions, be sure to give plenty of
time for response (don’t ask on the day before your project is due!).
The project needs to be creative and it needs to be created for the purposes of this class—so no double-dipping.
You cannot simply re-analyze a painting you did last semester or 10 years ago. You need to create it this
semester. Again, you may draw, sculpt, design, photograph, cook, write, compose, arrange, blog, write a speech,
as long as it is somehow creative. You need to be able to show it somehow on D2L for everyone else to see, so
offer a jpeg, PowerPoint, Word file, or YouTube link. If you need to upload a picture and do not have a digital
camera talk to me (or one of your classmates) for help.
In addition to the creative part, you need to write 3 in-depth paragraphs to accompany the creative piece (50
points). After revising and editing your paragraphs, copy and paste the work in the text box of the Discussion
Board in D2L.
Paragraph 1: Describe your project in detail—what it means and why you chose to go with whatever medium
your project is in. For example, if you wrote a collection of poetry, explain why you went with poetry in
particular. If you made a PowerPoint or a blog, explain why your project is significant in that format.
Paragraph 2: Cite text, or texts, in connection to your project that is from our course readings. Spend time
developing this critical connection between your project and the written text(s). Offer quotes and page numbers.
Paragraph 3: Explain why this is a relevant project overall and what you’ve learned – how does it connect to
the course, to your understanding of the text(s) and authors, etc.
