IDEA BOOK PROPOSAL

My semester project is to create an idea book, It is s a journal that is established to bring together three themes; today’s media, a social work perspective with an artistic twist. These three themes have all influenced my life in one way or another, I feel as if this would be a good project for young adolescents. It focuses on todays social problems through media and through social work aspect it will help students stay focused on there goals. In an artistic aspect, it will help students express the way they feel that social problems they face everyday in a creative way. 

                                  I-Color: School and Racism

The topic for today’s media will be a lecture on racial discriminations. What is racial discrimination and how does it effect us on a dailty basis ? (Discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race) We will watch a two minute clip and discuss how we are affected by discrimination in our everyday lives. As for the social work aspect students are to introduce themselves to their book. On three separate pages will discuss ideas /beliefs, values, and passions. They are required to define each word and have  at least three different ideas /beliefs, values, and passions on each page.

Decorating your book is where your artistic side comes, students are required to have their name on the cover. At least five drawings of things you love and your favorite quote that best describes you or just something you enjoy. When it comes to the artistic aspect based on the lecture given in class the students are to create a drawing, poem or song to express their opinions on the topic. when using images through collages, sketches, comic strips, and colors to convey the mood of your ideal piece. Be sure to express yourself to the fullest this is your journal!
