Assignment: Telling my Story
Like the men from Writing Our Way Out, you are going to tell a story that shows how you got to be who you are.
Goal: 1.Tell a meaningful story from your life in a way that affects your audience.
2. Through telling your story, convey a message without telling “the message.”
Instructions:
1. Select a moment in your life to tell a story about. Maybe it is a moment where you changed your mind. OR a moment when you figured out that you were not the person everyone assumed you are. Or maybe it was an experience of taking a risk. OR maybe it was a moment where you learned something new. Or maybe it’s the story of what 8-year-old “you” wanted to be when you grow up.
Options:
- make your own “book” ( Studio Book Arts style)
- make a digital story using a platform of your choosing
- perform your story, Moth-style
- other? if you have an idea you want to pursue, let me know
All stories are due in the last week of class.
