MOVIE OR WEBSITE?

If you are making a movie, remember you must write a script and use both video and audio to engage and communicate ideas to the audience. If you are making a website, you must write original material that informs the readers using a variety of hyperlinks throughout.

  • What treatments (if any) are available?

2. You must include your creative project or simulation.

  • Include video, artifacts, or pictures from the execution of the creative project or simulation.

  • What stigmas do you wish to eradicate with this campaign?
  • In what ways can people become more sensitive and empathetic towards people with this disability/disease?

  • These can be written blogs (website only) or video (either format).
  • Each reflection must describe how your thinking has changed over the course of this project. 
  • What have you learned? What prejudices did you have before? How has your outlook changed?
