Find and post ONE film scene:
Do not post an informational video like “the greatest acting of the 20th century!”  Find an actual scene from a film on YouTube that you think exemplifies good acting. This must be a different film than one you have explored in homework thus far. Is it facial gestures, line delivery, posture or action that illustrate fine acting? How crucial is a particular shot position, angle or movement in this interpretation?  Is it a coordination of all these aspects in the scene? Explain. Give us a little narrative or storyline in order to understand the character and what led up to the scene.
Please post a video so we can all enjoy your analysis! Don’t forget the analysis part too!

Use the above. Copy the link from YouTube. Insert Stuff menu pops up. Scroll to    Paste URL of the clip in the search box. The video will appear. Click search…..If it does not come up. Type the title of the clip. Click  Then click 
Do not just paste the link unless there is no other option. The link must work to get credit.

If you are shaky on it, be sure to read/review in The West Guide, the entire Section V: “Be a Researcher” (includes two chapters:  “Conducting Research” pp. 309-344 and “Documenting your Sources” pp. 345-366 (older edition pp. 349-404). It is all very clearly written out in the book. It covers how to find sources, how to do in-text citations and how to include evidence in your papers.
Please see the Writing Review in Module 6 if you have not already.
Also, review the chapters on Introductions and the five types of evidence to include in your paper:
“Writing Introductions” Chapter 12: pp. 197-206 (Older edition: Chapter 13: pp, 223-232)

TOPIC:
“Creativity takes courage.”
Henri Matisse
Impressionist painter Henri Matisse posited that “creativity takes courage.” I would like you to embrace that spirit as you undertake your final projects. Choose something that delights and inspires you in a domain in which you have something to share and something to learn. Make it a real research project where you do not already know the outcome before you start. You may choose one of the following options or come up with something original on your own (you must run it by me for approval).
Remember to use the five kinds of evidence: Personal experience, data and statistics, expert opinion, values, and visuals. Also, use one of the introduction strategies we discussed.
Choose ONE of the following (they should all be 4 pages):
1.     1. Present a 10-minute TED Talk to the class about a creative approach you have to a topic (“Ideas worth spreading”) and upload the video onto our Canvas site. Watch the TED talks on our Canvas site under Modules for inspiration.  Upload the written version of your talk as well. Use the Reisman creativity terminology we have learned in class such as “tolerance for risk,” or “flexibility,” etc. Also feel free to refer to Radical Remission, or “The Making of Meaning” or Myss “Tribal Power” if you wish.
2.     2. Write  a 4- page research paper on a creative person who has made a difference in his or her field.  What creative traits did they demonstrate in facing obstacles? Did their failures turn into strengths? What lessons did they learn? Use vocabulary from the course to discuss. Use the Reisman creativity terminology we have learned in class such as “tolerance for risk,” or “flexibility,” etc. Also feel free to refer to Radical Remission, or “The Making of Meaning” or Myss “Tribal Power” if you wish.
4.     3. Discuss Creativity in your own life and any obstacles you may have faced in pursuing your education at West. What creative qualities did you demonstrate as you faced your challenges? What did you learn? How did you use a creative approach to overcoming the obstacle? If you failed, how did that experience shape you or lead you in a new direction? Use the Reisman creativity terminology we have learned in class such as “tolerance for risk,” or “flexibility,” etc. Also feel free to refer to Radical Remission, or “The Making of Meaning” or Myss “Tribal Power” if you wish.

For this reading response you will read Ch. 1 What Is Sustainability and Ch. 2 A Brief History of Sustainability in Sustainability Principles and Practice (Robertson 2021) and respond to three lines from the reading.
READING RESPONSE GUIDELINES
Actions
Your reading responses are an opportunity for reflection on your own thoughts, beliefs, questions, and/or concerns regarding a particular topic, issue, or experience. It is a reflection of your learning throughout the semester, not a diary or a book report.  The ultimate purpose of the reading responses is to provide you with a safe, judgement-free place to express your ideas and opinions and to facilitate an understanding of the course material and experiences.
Each reading response should reflect approximately 60 minutes of effort and include appropriate and related photos, drawings, video clips, and links – anything that you wish to include that enhances your discussion. Be creative!  This is an expression of your thoughts. 
For most responses, you will select 3 lines from the week’s reading that stand out to you in some way (you agree with them, you disagree with them, you don’t understand them, etc.) and respond to them. BE SURE TO CHECK SPECIFIC READING RESPONSE ASSIGNMENTS, AS THE DIRECTIONS MAY BE DIFFERENT FOR SOME.  Be detailed and give reasoning behind your thoughts. For example – don’t just say, “This sentence is dumb!” Tell me why it is dumb.
All work reflected in the response should be in your own words. If you use other authors’ work you need to properly paraphrase and reference the information including photos, graphics and/or external links (photos taken by you will need to be referenced as well).  Use APA  formatting of all citations. Citations for pictures can simply be the original website URL in a caption under the picture or in a list at the end of your reading response.  Make sure you cite the textbook that you quote!
DO NOT list “Google images” as a citation for pictures. I need the URL from the original website.
You need to use correct grammar and spelling, using complete sentences.
You will be graded on the richness of your ideas and discussion, not on your opinions.
