group identity mashup

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.
