Term four project: Missing Voices

A Missing Voice:

What is a missing voice?
Who does not have a voice?
Why has their voice been silenced?
What can be done to give them a voice once more?

These are just some of the questions that we have discussed this year.  I am now asking you to reflect upon these questions in your own studies.  Take a moment and examine our society, during this reflection; are there voices in our day-to-day society who are or have become missing?  Your task is to give this group a voice once more.


    Step One:  Choosing a Voice
        Research a group whom you have felt has a missing voice.

    Step Two: Presenting the voice.
        Please attach a well-written and thoughtful piece of writing that clearly
explains the group and why their voice is missing.

    Step Three:  A Voice (choose a or b)
a.)    Take a moment and create an artistic or creative means of conveying
the voice that is missing.  Be sure to write a short explanation of your artwork (one paragraph)

b.) You may also choose to present a poem or piece of artwork that you feel represents this group. Be sure to write a short explanation of the art you are using (cite the source of the artwork as well)

Step Four: Sharing
In small groups, we will take time to share your work with one another. Also, the items will be displayed for the class to all witness and discuss.



Overall: Be sure to demonstrate effort, thoughtfulness and insight into our course this past year and what you have taken away from your studies.
