Week 4 (September 17, 2015) – LINK Classroom 4

Innovation = Team Sport

• In-class activities: Guacamole Red Carpet Premiere #1! Teams screen feature stories and gather feedback from class and guests.  
New teams assigned for Story #2 on arts entrepreneurs (comprised of at least two interviews and b-roll, TRT: under three minutes).

• In-class discussion: Discuss readings, viewings, reflection papers, and ideas for Story #2.

Special Guest

Saleem Reshamwala, Filmmaker/Creative Director at KidEthnic Films, and Milton of Milton's Famous (cookies) will be our special guests. Please take a minute to read about Saleem and watch some of his videos. 

Assignments

• New teams prepare 2-3 story ideas to pitch next week on arts entrepreneurs. 
• Assigned teams bring camera equipment and production questions next week.

Read, Watch and Write.

• Reading #1: Students should read chapters 8-10 of Clayton M. Christensen's How Will You Measure Your Life.

• Reading #2: Tony Schwartz's “Relax! You’ll Be More Productive” 

• Reading #3: Students should read chapters 5-9 of The Bare Bones Camera Course for Film and Video.

• Viewings: 
Some stories are best told with powerful music and compelling lyrics.

• Reflections: Students should write reflections on readings and viewings and submit reflections using the form below by 5pm Tuesday, September 22nd. 
REMINDER: 25% of your final grade will be based on class participation and reflection papers. See Reflection Papers under grading on the overview page for an exposition of this assignment.
    Each paper will be a first-person response (what did the readings/viewings mean to the student, what did he/she get out of it, and how does it relate to issues the class has discussed or experiences in the student’s life, etc.), and a question based on the readings/viewings. This question could be about something the student did not understand, about issues the student believes were not addressed, or about anything else the student was curious about while reading or watching. Throughout the semester, guest speakers will have conversations with the class in person or via Skype/Google Hangout. The students will research the guests, write their pertinent questions about the experience (what did the conversation mean to the student, what did she/he get out of it, and how does it relate to issues the class has discussed or experiences in the student’s life, or what does she/he want to ask and learn if prior to conversation). These will also be included in the reflection papers.
Submit

We'll see you on September 24th for Week 5 – Arts Entrepreneurship

We've got several special guests lined up for next week!
The Real Laww, Founder,  Durham Hip Hop Summit; Napoleon Wright, Founder, Pan II Creative; Shirlette Ammons, poet, musician, author.
NEXT: WEEK 5
