American Literature I Multimedia Project
For this project, you will create some sort of digital presentation that connects one or more of the works we’ve read to contemporary images, films, television shows, songs, or other multi-media. At least two of the works must be in a genre outside of literature (songs, paintings, television shows, music videos, films).
To construct this, you will select at least one work we’ve read (you may do more). From that work, you will select a specific quote or passage that you particularly like. You will then pair it with a modern image, film, show, song, book, etc, explaining how you think it is connected. You must have a total of three quotes from a primary source paired with a multimedia inspiration. These can be from the same source or all from different sources.
The goal is to create something that shows how the primary work inspires modern audiences and creators (and you!). Avoid using clip art or stock photos. For example, just posting a picture of a flag and saying is connected to The Declaration of Independence is not sufficient. You should think creatively about a particular line from the work that you connect to the multi-media component. For your primary works, you may select any work we have studied this semester.
Though there is not a specific slide count or length, the presentation should cover all outlined areas. Your presentation must be assembled using a digital tool (PowerPoint, Prezi, iMovie, Pictochart, etc.) and contain each of the following sections:

1. An overview of the author and primary work. This section may be brief and reflect the context of the rest of the presentation (ie. you don’t need to include information that isn’t pertinent to the main ideas of your presentation).
   a. Author—Filter out irrelevant information and look at what about them is pertinent to the work. If possible, find a source that either directly addresses the author in context of the work, or reflects some important element of the author beyond just the basic facts.
   b. Primary Work—Briefly summarize the sources. This should be a just a few sentences that capture the essence of the work without bogging the viewer down in details.
   c. You will need to complete this first part for all primary sources if you choose to do more than one. For example, if you decided to use “Washington’s Farewell,” The Declaration of Independence, and ‘Civil Disobedience,” you would need an author and primary work summary for each of those.
2. Inspiration Work One. This should be the first work or works you are connecting to your primary source. With the work, you should include the following:
   a. Overview of the creator and format. This may be brief and give basic information (who created, when, and what medium).
   b. The work itself. Here you may include the painting, lyrics, or link to a video. If you elect to use a film or television show, you can just post a production still to stand in for the entire work.
   c. Analysis. This should be a concise but well-considered discussion of how the work connects to the primary work. Why did you pick this? How are they connected? How does it extend on the ideas? What new perspectives does it bring to the conversation?
3. Inspiration Work Two. This should be the first work or works you are connecting to your primary source. With the work, you should include the following:
   a. Overview of the creator and format. This may be brief and give basic information (who created, when, and what medium).
   b. The work itself. Here you may include the painting, lyrics, or link to a video. If you elect to use a film or television show, you can just post a production still to stand in for the entire work.
   c. Analysis. This should be a concise but well-considered discussion of how the work connects to the primary work. Why did you pick this? How are they connected? How does it extend on the ideas? What new perspectives does it bring to the conversation?
4. Inspiration Work Three. This should be the first work or works you are connecting to your primary source. With the work, you should include the following:
   a. Overview of the creator and format. This may be brief and give basic information (who created, when, and what medium).
   b. The work itself. Here you may include the painting, lyrics, or link to a video. If you elect to use a film or television show, you can just post a production still to stand in for the entire work.
   c. Analysis. This should be a concise but well-considered discussion of how the work connects to the primary work. Why did you pick this? How are they connected? How does it extend on the ideas? What new perspectives does it bring to the conversation?
5. Brief conclusion. This section should sum up your thoughts on the lasting impact of the primary work(s).
6. A list of five Critical Thinking Questions about the primary work and/or additional works. These should be thought-provoking and connected with your presentation.
7. Works Cited. Cite all sources, images, lyrics, videos, etc. using MLA format.
