Please take the time to read into this idea that Mathew Palmer brought to my attention while we were eating tater tots earlier this week. It's a fun way for us to get to know each other beyond our names, concentrations, and Chinese zodiac signs (if you were on that bus tour). We were thinking of doing this when we get back from Winter break. So, have the photos sent to: upsa2010@gmail.com maybe a week after Winter Break in case you want to shoot pictures during break.
Hometown Montage
Purpose
To bring together classmates and have each of us get to know each other through a creative medium that relates to our personal interests, history, and built-in environment.
What it is?
A collection of classmates’ photos of what they define as their hometown. Can be presented in a slideshow with text. We can limit each person to 3-5 slides in which each participant is free to create a collage or submit a single image per slide. It’s up to them to expand and be creative to tell their story ☺ First slide should be text of student’s name and hometown location.
Questions for participants to think about when selecting photos:
What does your hometown mean to you? If we were visiting your hometown, what would you want to show us first?
Where can this be presented?
Perhaps a bar that has LCD TVs and will give us permission to do so. May require us reserving space. This setting would be ideal because it is outside the classroom and in a more sociable setting.
What do we need?
To inform classmates and have them send pictures by a deadline date. We then need to organize photos into a slideshow that can converted into a DVD.
