Topic: The Black Panthers.
This project is not meant to be an expository history assignment. Of course, you do want to explain your topic- the history and the who/what/where/when/why, but you also need to discuss what your topic means to American Studies. Some questions to consider when writing your project are:
How does this event/topic relate to past historical and contemporary movements, events, and realities?
What American values are present in your topic? How does your topic access or relate to these values?
What is the myth of your topic as opposed to the reality, the truth, of your topic?
What critiques or analysis do you have about the information surrounding your topic?
Is your topic correctly or adequately covered by the media? Has there been a public propaganda campaign about your topic? Why?
What various perspectives exist about your topic? Why were there differing points of view?
Instead of only reading analyses of the topic, see if you can find primary sources (first-hand) depictions of your topic. Analysis is fine! You will just need to find accurate and non-biased sources. You can use biased sources but only if you are using those sources to comment upon their bias. For example, if I was doing Reefer Madness, I would need to find anti-marijuana biased articles or advertisements to demonstrate that there was a crazy propaganda campaign against marijuana. Then I would try to investigate why. This is not an expository project where you simply tell us about the event/phenomenon. You need to look at the issue from multiple perspectives as well as integrate literature, art, interviews, media accounts, narratives, etc. into your essay and slide show as appropriate. For this project, you will need to submit:
a 10 minute narrated slide show The Black Panthers
a 2-3 page fact sheet on your topic and research
Option 1: Narrated Slide ShowSit in the teacher’s chair and create a PPT presentation to share what you have learned. Then, record audio narration along with you flipping through your PPT slides. Note: I will be using the speaker note that you will add to the powerpoint for my speaker note or to narrate the powerpoint.

Fact Sheet RequirementsThe fact sheet is meant to compliment your Narrated Slide Show or Virtual Museum Exhibit. It is to be a ‘brochure’ of your topic and should be 2-3 pages. Below are some examples of Fact Sheets.
I attached a sample fact sheet (Islam fact sheet) that was shared by the instructor. Please use this example to generate your own factsheet.
