From Olivia: CR2 Guidelines

Coming up:

1. Next week we have conferences instead of class meetings. The sign-up sheet for your 10-minute slot will be passed around the room today (Wed.).

2. You have an RN related to postings (of your choice) on this blog.

3. You need to consider what you will do for CR2. Here is an example (and I'll mention some others in class today), and below are the guidelines.

CR2 Guidelines:

Your assignment: make an original piece of art (poetry, drawing, music, painting, performance, sculpture, collage, comic strip, ?) alone OR with a partner.

This not a speech or a power point presentation; this is a "show and tell" type of format. You will not turn anything in. You will not be judged on your artwork. You will have to present your THESIS to the class.

You will be graded on the effectiveness of your analysis and your ability to summarize your position in one to two sentences (aloud). It's kind of like presenting a thesis to us orally and then supporting your thesis with your "piece of art."

The artwork MUST "illustrate" any social group experiencing any of the Five Faces of Oppression.

The social group you illustrate MUST comply with IMY's definition.

The social group MUST be experiencing at least one of the Five Faces.

Your grade is broken down this way: a) the effort of making an original, creative, and thoughtful piece of art is worth 5 points, b) your ability to summarize your analysis, orally, in a thesis statement is worth 5 points, c) your ability to smoothly connect IMY's theories with your own observation (social group, faces of oppression) is worth 10 points.
