RATIONALE -
Some courses in Human/Interpersonal omit the
unit in family dynamics.; however, as the PPTR'-F's state, I
believe it is important to study the dynamics of family-&-family
communication for at least two(2) reasons. Your family is the first (& a
very powerful) influence on shaping your self-concept. In addition,
families are microcosms of their surrounding culture which means they
are also the major factor in your "encultluration.
Through this project -- to be acccomplished via virtual
groups -- you will explore, apply, and present a video representation of
one specific family concept that you've learned about in your assigned
readings.
(
(i.e. you are actually
making a brief, specific &
scholarly presentation to illuminate and
thoughtfully explore a dynamic about family communication) |

| FINDING / CREATING VIDEOCLIPS
- Complete the readings
(Chap 12 + PPTR-F +
posted article
[location pending]
any additional information you can
find on specific family concepts mentioned within the readings.) |
| > Find or create a short video—1-to-3
minutes—that illustrates concepts covered in Chap12
[1st section =
family] or the PPTR-F's or supplemental readings, or class
discussions (see sample topics list below). There are many ways
you could proceed: You might recognize something as you're watching your
favorite movies or TV shows
/or/
you may search online for relevant clips
/or/
as a group,
you may create your own video. |
| >
Be selective. If you choose the first clip that
comes up when you "Google "or search on YouTube for "family," other
students may find the same clip, which will not earn you high points on
the project and may not be the best illustration anyway. |
| >
Choose illustrations
of your selected concept rather than
using "talking heads." This means: avoid descriptions (such as a Ted Talk explaining a concept);
instead, look
for concrete, tangible examples (such as a reality TV show interaction or
the multigenerational relationships on Modern Family where
characters can be parents and children within the same episode. Your examples can be
either positive (i.e. good/ineffective family communication) or
negative (i.e. ineffective/inappropriate family communication. |

Follow Grading Criteria
( Rubric pending)
Depending upon evidence, grades will be assigned per group or per
individual. In other words, if there is clear evidence that the work
for this project was unbalanced and all group members did not participate
equally, participants will be graded separately. Otherwise, the default is
to assign a "group grade."
A column will be added to Grade Center for recording the grades received.
