Assignment: For your final in-class presentation, revise one of your earlier essays (“i” narrative, academic essay, or rhetorical analysis), or, potentially, even a combination of several, smaller assignments into it a visual essay (YouTube video).
Your audience will be our class, as we will screen these videos on the last days of class. Consider how you might expand, limit, and alter the assignment you are revising by changing medium and genre. Your final video (posted to our YouTube account) should be to be between three and four minutes in length.
Submitting: Either upload to YouTube or Vimeo by the date of your presentation: embed link and submit to the website on the appropriate site.
