Due Monday 10 November
Make a list of all the groups with which you affiliate. Using this list, of groups with which you identify, create a manipulatable
that shows how these groups relate to your individual identity. By
maniplulatable, I mean that you cannot give me an electronic document – it must
be something you create that I can touch and manipulate with my hands. This
might be a 3-D thing, like some sort of paper folding, or a collage, a puzzle,
a ven diagram, a simple geometric design, a drawing, a flexagon, etc. I’m purposefully
being vague in my directions so that you can be as creative as you want. But
the manipulatable must:
show in some visual way your affiliations with different groups
The second part
of the assignment is a 300-500 word written reflection that describes, explains, debates,
expands, etc. your visual. They should go together.
Grading out of 30 points is a
simply A (exceptional), B (above average), C (average), D (below average),
based on the level of your thought and effort more than on specific outcomes.
Assignment goals
--To stretch you
to think visually rather than merely in words, but also to push your own writing to act as a complement to a visual.
--To spark your
thinking about your personal identity as it relates to identities you assume in
different groups.
