Photojournalistic Project:
Combine writing and photography or videography (news segments/clips, interviews, etc.) to observe or record
an event or theme related to the course. You may want to identify objects, signs, advertisements, etc. that
promote bias or oppression or research a topic through the use of photography.
Part 1: Take photos and include captions. Choose an event and record the phenomenon through photos (do
not take photos at religious events or places where those gathered possibly would feel disrespected). You may
want to take some of the major course themes and illustrate them through photography. You should plan on
have at least 12 pictures to go along with your topic / paper. If you are in doubt regarding your idea, come and
talk to me!
Part 2: Include a reflection of the activity (2-3 pgs). What did you learn? What were your challenges? This
reflection will be APA and have references (at LEAST 3) to readings from the class. Your paper part of this
assignment should include the following sections: • Introduction • Overview of your photo-journal project •
Connections – connect your project to themes from class • So What – what did you learn and what does that
have to do with our class • Conclusion
Part 3: Finally, you will also prepare a PowerPoint presentation 7-10 minutes sharing what you found and
learned and connecting it to class topics and your future teaching. 4 minutes of showing the pictures and
talking about the event. 3-4 minutes of connections to class and teaching.
