Description

I am going to create a multimedia document, which demonstrates how I interpret a literary work (poem or short story) from the Spanish-speaking world. The project will involve selecting and reading a work, researching its author, and investigating the cultural and historical shaping of that literary piece. I will gather/create materials to convey the basic meaning of the poem, yet will reflect my imique perspective on how the piece can be understood. The multimedia project encompasses such languages as music, drawings, film, and sound affects, in addition to spoken and written Spanish. The availability of these additional languages will give me multiple options with which to express my thoughts. It will also increase the probability that my ideas will be successfully transmitted to a diverse audience, potentially including children, adults, classmates, educators, and future employers. The project allows the freedom and responsibility to direct oneself in the processes of interpreting, investigating, and choosing creative ways to compile the selected media. The project also presents the opportunity to learn how digital technologies can be used to achieve a desired result.
