EWRT2 Critical thinking, reading and writing
Overview:
For this assignment, you will design a research project that you will develop and produce throughout module 4, & 5. This topic is your choice, so it can be something you already worked on in this class, or something new that you are interested in working on.
You will have the same topic for all three modules, so you cannot change topics after you submit the Research Project.
Approaches:
Fictional: Look at a fictional movie, TV episode, music video, or piece of media and do a close analysis of the “monster/villain”
Historical: Look at a real-life dictator, serial killer, scientist, social network, etc. and do an analysis of the coverage of the person.
Scientific: Look at modern science e.g. cloning, Crispr, genetic modification etc. and decide whether that type of science is creating modern heroes or monsters.
Current events: Do a deep dive on a current event like border control, politics, make-up, sports, and analyze whether your topic is helping society or harming it?
