Writing to Learn 6.1
For the purpose of this course, you will not actually be able to submit your final presentation, but I'd like you to go through the steps of creating the presentation and submitting a detailed description of it.
Your task is to research an area of human rights and create a written description in which you describe a current situation where human rights are being violated. As you consider what to include in your presentation, you should look at possible pictures, graphs, movies or websites that could supplement your written words. Although they will not be included in written description directly, you should include a brief description of other types of media that could be used in a presentation.
Investigate an area of the world- or in your own nation- where human rights are consistently being violated. Do further research into the situation using a variety of reliable sources- newspapers, news magazines (paper or online), websites, books and governmental publications. You can do much of your research online. Make sure that the sources you use are reliable by ensuring that:
-they are not propaganda for one side of the issue or another.
-all of the statistics they quote are backed up by real research
-you can verify the information with another independent source.
Prepare a presentation to display your research about the violations of human rights in the place you're discussing. Include who (what group of people are being oppressed), what's happening, how it's happening, and why- social or political reasons for the conflict. Your presentation should include at least two photos and one chart or graph. If you cannot include the actual photos, you should include a detailed description of the photos.
In your presentation, you also need to include possible solutions to the problem you're discussing. These can be your own ideas or suggestions by another author.
Please remember to cite any sources you use for either photos or information.
Be creative in your presentation style or skills and try to think of ways to include other media (audio or visual files). Because of the limits of technology in this course, you will only be able to submit your presentation in document format, so you will need to describe the additional effects you would add if it were possible (i.e. include an audio file, include a picture or graphic you'd design). You should include a list of possible sources and the information that ye sources could add in the text of the document and/or in the end of the Works Cited list.
For your initial draft you should:
1. Name the area/country that you are choosing to research. Why did you choose this area?
2. List five to ten sources that you used for your research. Identify both the source and the type of information you got from the source.
3. Write and outline for your presentation. Make sure to include the following in your outlines: -answers to the five `w's` and one `h` questions above about the conflict. -two pictures and one graph that you want to use (either the actual pictures or a detailed description) -a proposed solution to the problem. -citations for any sources (pictures, text, or multimedia) that you either quote or use as a reference for information that you could not have known without viewing the source. -a list of works cited.
4. Include a description of other media in the presentation (such as audio or video files).
5. Your final document should describe the presentation as you would have created it and include any pictures/photos that you can. Possible formats for your presentation include: slide presentation (you could describe each slide that you'd create), web page design (outline the web page and describe where you would place the graphics, what text you would include), newspaper article, television or radio commercial, video presentation (describe the shots you'd gather, the people you would interview, the background narration you'd include), or any other medium of your choice. The last page of your final document should include a list of works cited.
You will submit two documents: the draft with your notes and initial outline and your final paper.
