Project One: Contributing to the conversation

Youve had the opportunity to consider several different voices in a conversation about conspiracy theories. Now it is time to add your voice!  

Traditional Option: Using two of the resources we discussed as part of this unit, create a text that effectively makes a contribution to the conversation on conspiracy theories. In this text, articulate a question you will pursue or an objective you will meet, and consider several different perspectives before adding your voice. Keep in mind organization strategies we have observed, which may include presentation of objective data and facts, exploration of opposing arguments, and personal anecdotes that help introduce ideas or present evidence. Your essay should be 3 pages, MLA format. 

Multi-modal option: As an alternative to a traditional alphabetic text, you may choose to create a multi-model project that addresses a question or objective you form on the subject of conspiracy theories. Ideas might include visual art or photography, graphic narrative/illustration, video, original music, or? Playtime for a video or piece of original music should be five minutes or less. If you choose this option, your project must also be accompanied by a 1-2 page (typed, double-spaced, etc.) rationale that articulates your question, identifies the text sources you are drawing from to explore the question, and the role that each source played in informing your project. You should also explain the choices you made in selecting modes, genres, and/or platforms. 

Whether you choose the traditional or multi-modal option, remember this is your voice. Feel free, and invited, to bring your own unique and distinctive voice to this conversation.
