TKaM/Tolerance Unit Project

In this project you can create one of three products. The choices are: 1. a move trailer, 2. a short story, and 3. a song. All of these must tell a story and incorporate the ideas we have wrangled with in class: tolerance, characterization, and cultural anthropology. In addition to the main product you must also create, using the elements of good design, a poster that advertises your product (song, story, movie, etc.). Be sure to incorporate root-based words throughout. A couple of Examples of Essential Questions: 1. Why is it important to be tolerant of one another? 2. What do values and beliefs reveal about character?
