YouTube Video-based Project

Too often we only think of education as knowledge acquisition.  However, as you watch the Eyes on the Prize video series, one of the things that you will notice is that it moves you emotionally.  Produce a 5-minute video that is derived from one of the Eyes on the Prize episodes.  Your aim is provide information, but more importantly, your goal should be to produce a piece of work that moves people emotionally.  The video should be uploaded to YouTube by November 28, 2012.  This assignment will be worth 20% of your final grade.  For this assignment you can work in groups as large as 4 students.

Additionally, you are required to submit a 1-2 page description and reference page explaining how the video was produced, and from which sources its contents were drawn.  Where appropriate, links or other bibliographic information should be provided.

Some of the eyes on the prize episodes. More on you tube if you need it
