This is the assignment:
The student can do the collage, she just needs a speech. She was thinking either something about a sports fan community or LGBTQ community, but whatever the writer wants is fine. We will make it work.
Create a digital collage of images that reflect your community’s culture, to
be placed in a public space in your community.
a) To learn about the genre of collage, read the “A Cut-Down History of
Collage” article listed in the Resources section.
b) Find images that reflect the key values, customs, and daily practices of the
community you selected. Use image search engines like Google Images,
Compfight.com, Flickr, or the Multicolr Search Lab
(http://labs.tineye.com/multicolr) to find pictures for your collage.
c) Make sure to note the sources of your images, and list them in a separate
citation page.
d) Think about the overall composition, color, and presentation of your collage.
Consider how the collage as a whole work of art reflects the culture of your
community. Also, consider using metaphorical images in addition to literal
images to represent your ideas.
e) You can create your collage by inserting images in a word processing
program, or use an online service like ribbet.com or photovisi.com.
Step 4: Write a short dedication speech explaining how the collage you created
reflects the culture and daily life of your community.
a) Your speech should be no more than one page long, 12-point font, 1.5
spacing.
b) Consider your audience. Make sure that the speech is engaging, and is
talking directly to other members of your community.
