ASU’s Everything Change anthologies
create a review of, and personal response to, a
new short story that expands our Florida & Climate Change unit. You will do this
by creating a social media influencer-like video.
First, select a short story from ASU’s Everything Change anthologies. You may
choose any story other than the one we’ve already covered in class— “The Last
Grand Tour of Albertine’s Watch”.
Volume 1: https://climateimagination.asu.edu/everything-change/
Volume 2: https://climateimagination.asu.edu/everything-change-vol-2/
Volume 3: https://climateimagination.asu.edu/everything-change-vol-3/
Next, read the story closely and actively, being sure you can provide an accurate
summary and analysis in your video. Take notes and do some freewriting to help
you think about what you want to say. Note, as well, your personal response to
the story.
Finally, create a presentation in video format in which you both “review” the text
for your audience (summarize and analyze) and provide your personal response
to it. The summary and analysis should be addressed to a general audience (your
followers). Your personal response should reflect on the characters, themes, or
situations in the text that resonate with your own life experiences. You should
also rate the story for your audience. Five stars? Only two? Two thumbs or one
thumb up? Explain why.
