Please respond with your Creative Topic before doing assignment so I can submit topic to the Professor to see if she approves the chosen topic.

Creative Project

The creative project allows students to do just that- be creative. Students are tasked with constructing a piece of literature that inspires thoughtful discourse about a facet of emergency management, using either a fiction or nonfiction example. Students are free to conduct a project on whatever topic they see fit, following approval from the instructor Specific topics already discussed in class (for example, doomsday preppers) are not eligible for this project. Any outside sources or information you utilize must be cited in APA format. 

Here are a few additional parameters for your creative projects:

Restive Project should be 6-8 pages long, double-spaced, and written in APA format. You must cite (in APA format) any outside resources or examples of media you might reference.  If I have approved the medium or style of your project via the topic approval portal, then that project is acceptable. I will not accept creative projects without an approved topic. 

Creative Project Rubric: Your projects will be evaluated for their creativity, content/depiction of fiction or nonfiction media, relevancy or application of a specific topic, and the project’s relation to emergency management. Every project must focus on a topic within the context of a phase (or phases) of emergency management.

Additional parameters on the creative project:

As you identify topics of interest for your projects, please keep the following thoughts in mind:

• It’s up to you to create a new piece of “disaster media”. This is different from the critiques, where we analyze existing work, and apply principles of emergency management to better understand each phase of EM. For example, because I’m interested in oral histories, I could decide to put together a work on interviewing people in my area who remember impacts from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
• Based on the same previous example, I could go from there and decide that I wanted to focus my work on the “response” phase of EM. I recommend focusing on one phase of EM, in order to limit the scope of your project- otherwise, it’s possible to start a huge project with no definitive scope or purpose. 
• Your chosen topic may be fictional or non-fictional. Whichever product you elect to create, ensure that it is robust and professional in both content and delivery.

Keep in mind, your creative project should be a stand-alone piece of disaster media. It should not simply critique an existing piece of media- that is why we conduct the critiques!

1. Competency
   Formulate, express, and support individual perspectives on diverse works and issues.

   Instructions
   You will act as a critic for some of the main subjects covered in the humanities. You will conduct a series of short, evaluative critiques of film, philosophy, literature, music, and myth. You will respond to five different prompts, and each response should include an analysis of the topics using terminology unique to that subject area and should include an evaluation as to why the topic stands the test of time. The five prompts are as follows:

   1: Choose a film and offer an analysis of why it is an important film, and discuss it in terms of film as art. Your response should be more than a summary of the film.
   2: Imagine you had known Plato and Aristotle and you had a conversation about how we fall in love. Provide an overview of how Plato would explain falling in love, and then provide an overview of how Aristotle might explain falling in love.
   3: Compare and contrast the two poems below:

   LOVES INCONSISTENCY
   I find no peace, and all my war is done;
   I fear and hope, I burn and freeze likewise
   I fly above the wind, yet cannot rise;
   And nought I have, yet all the world I seize on;
   That looseth, nor locketh, holdeth me in prison, And holds me not, yet can I scape no wise;
   Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,
   And yet of death it giveth none occasion.
   Without eyes I see, and without tongue I plain;
   I wish to perish, yet I ask for health;
   I love another, and yet I hate myself;
   I feed in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain;
   Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,
   And my delight is causer of my grief.
   Petrarch

1. After great pain a formal feeling comes
   The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
   The stiff Heart questionswas it He that bore?
   And yesterdayor centuries before?
   The feet mechanical go round
   A wooden way
   Of ground or air or ought
   Regardless grown,
   A quartz contentment like a stone.
   This is the hour of lead
   Remembered if outlived
   As freezing persons recollect
   The snow
   First chill, then stupor, then
   The letting go
   Emily Dickinson

   4: Compare and contrast these two pieces of music:
   .Beethovens Violin Romance No. 2        Scott Joplins Maple Leaf Rag

5: Explain in classical terms why a modern character is a hero. Choose from either Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones, Bilbo Baggins, Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, or Ender Wiggins.
