Read the following direction for clarification of Instructions on each choice. Given that you are provided 2 weeks to complete this I will not accept late work past the due date.


Presidential Address
Pick one of any U.S. President‘s Addresses to the American nation. Read and Listen to the address and identify the message, tone, and mood the president is trying to convey to the American people and present your theory of the message being sent to the American people and the mood being set by the president  in a slide show presentation.
Slide Show must be 8 slides long including Title slide and Works Cited slide. The works cited must be done correctly. You must have information on each slide that does not repeat the others. You must also have photos (minimum 4) and a short clip of the presidential speech (if available) If a video is no available you must attach a link of the written address/ speech on your slides.
Explain in depth: Summary of Presidential Address  and then your own theory of the message being sent to the President's Audience. 
Who is the Audience? What is this speech about/for? Why is that the message being conveyed? What mood is being set? What tone is the President using? Why is this important? etc. 

Music Analysis 
Research and pick a song that is appropriate and analyze the message(s) being conveyed in the song. Watch the music video and compare your ideas of the message the song. Was your first idea based on hearing it versus watching the video correct? 
Did the Music Video help to convey a certain message? What specific lyrics portray that idea/ message/ mood? Why do you think the artist chose this genre and way to convey their message? etc. 

Record your comparison in a written article expressing your thoughts on the message being conveyed to the music artist's listeners. minimum 500 words, maximum 2,000 words. 
You must include the lyrics down and redact any inappropriate language and find a clean version of the song to present to the class. If inappropriate language occurs you will have points deducted. 
You will need to present your essay to the class and present it in a way that keeps your audience engaged.

Science Fair
Just like we did in elementary. You will need to conduct your own research on a school science fair subject. You will need to record your finding on a 3-fold poster board, including linguistic and visual elements (Written information of research and findings and pictures or video of the experiment) 
Explain your hypothesis, findings, and conclusion on the poster and to the class. 
This will need to have details of your research shown in depth. The show of your experiment will need to look presentable, with color and neatly written/ typed evidence

If you choose to type your experiment findings I will be glad to print it for you, you will have to remind me and have this printed and pasted before the day of presentations (May 6) You are responsible for asking and retrieving your printed work. 

Interview
Interview a community member about the history of Gorman. Come up with your own interview questions. Record their gestures and body language as well as the mood this is setting for the history of the town. 
Record and note the mood being conveyed during your interview. Then create a short 5 min. documentary explaining the information from the interview about the town and how the gestures/ body language of the interviewee presented a particular message or tone/ mood and portray that in your documentary. 
                   If you are unsure of how to go about making your documentary, research short documentaries, and watch some on You Tube. Look up how to make a documentary and what does the context of a documentary behold. Make sure if your interviewee wants to stay anonymous you must keep anonymity.
