Final Paper Presentation

This assignment is a way for students to reflect on how they are beginning to make meaning of what they are learning in the classroom and how that applies to their paraprofessional position in the field.

Choose 3-5 of those significant life events and analyze them through the lens of the developmental theories learned in class. Perhaps now you have thought of something else that you left out of your original timeline but is representative of "who you are," so you may want to add this perspective to your story. For this assignment, you will be completing a digital story. A digital storytelling project is a process that results in a short video that helps you organize your experiences and illustrates your learning using meaningful images, fitting music, and a well-written script. This script answers essential questions about your expectations and experiences. This assignment is a multi-step process; first you will perfect your script which is then transformed into a storyboard document that is used to guide your thinking while you create the video, you will then find images and music that help emphasize the ideas in your script, and finally you will record your digital story. This assignment should be no shorter than three minutes in length, and no longer than five minutes. Additionally, you will need to submit your storyboard script to the My Story assignment section. This document should be 2-5 pages with one-inch margins, double-spaced, and should be typed in 12-point Times New Roman, or similar, font. On this document, make sure to highlight key words and concepts, and identify when transitions between images occur by utilizing "///" to indicate the start of the next image. The resource below "Digital Storytelling Helpful Hints" contains an example of a storyboarding document.

Your presentation should include the following: 1. Name/title of the group along with the purpose of the change effort; 2. How the effort is framed by the group; 3. Show the website associated with the effort and/or a short video clip as well as any print media/newspaper article if available; 4. Tactics of change used by the group; 5. Identify the movement/change effort as Transformative vs. Utilitarian (or elements of both)—see page 76, Pyles text; 6. Your evaluation of their efforts (how you think their message/effort is working well/or not, along with any recommendations you would have for improvements). In addition to your class presentation, you will post this information in a forum to share with your classmates as a reference.
