- Today you're going to work with one of the human rights issues that we have talked about in class.
- Your job is a simple one, yet amazingly complex. It is easy, yet hard. You are going to take your incident and identify six key moments.
- For each of these moments you'll write a headline that might appear in a newspaper. Headlines are short, snappy and (in our case) not more than 10 words.
- You are then going to act out each of these six main events and take pictures of it (this is called a tableau vivant).
- Consider carefully how you can get a picture that makes you think of the event.
- How can you make people think about Ukrainians being herded into camps without building a camp? Would a chainlink fence work as a suitable background?
- How could you show Pearl Harbor being bombed? Would toy planes suspended on thread be convincing?
- Can you create simple costumes for the events you're depicting?
- Write down your plan for each picture so the teacher can see that you have ideas that make sense.
- You will pick one picture of each key moment. This picture should visually explain that moment.
- You will then compile your six pictures into a visual story that tells about the Incident without using any words.
