Vietnam Photo Essay Storyboard

We will meet with the other members of the group once a week to share the details from the novel that you have gathered and to develop a profile of the character. Decide what your character was like before his experience in Vietnam and what changes occurred to him throughout the novel. Use the details from the novel that you have gathered to support your conclusions. Organize this information into an outline or concept map and then submit to me. Search for a unifying theme or insight. Find ten to fifteen images (artwork, portraits of individuals, war scenes, symbols, etc.) that you could use to help communicate important ideas about your character and the changes that he goes through. Save these images on the Shared Server in a folder on the student network that everyone in the group will have access to.

Organize your ideas from the group into a photo essay to present to the class. Use Power Point, colorful oral presentation, or some other pre-approved multimedia format to present your photo essay. Work with your group to develop a storyboard that outlines the information that will be included. Decide how you will combine visual images with details from the novel to communicate important ideas about your character. Use images such as artwork, portraits of individuals, war scenes, symbols, etc. to enhance your presentation and support your depiction of the character. Keep in mind that any text appearing in the presentation should be easy to read and there should be no more than one sentence on a slide. Your storyboard should provide an outline of what text, images, and sounds will appear on each slide or picture of your presentation. YOU WILL NEED TO SUBMIT A COPY OF YOUR STORYBOARD TO THE TEACHER BEFORE MOVING ON.
