In a vlog (video blog) you are to respond to one of the questions asked. You should candidly respond in a 1 minute- 1:30 second video that will be sent to me. You must support your response with at least 1 QUOTE from the text.

A few tips when vlogging:

-Decide if you want to have a script in front of you or speak impromptu - Plan your video session wisely. Look at the prompts ahead of time, then film. Maybe make an outline of your talking points. - Don’t worry about being awkward - Use eye contact/connect - Use headsets or record some place quiet. Avoid background noise. - Be aware of your background. - Be aware of lighting - You can be playful! Try jump cuts, black and white, comment bubbles etc. - This is a real conversation. Put yourself into it. Feel free to ask me a question in it. - Do take this assignment as a grade. Yes, we can be playful, but I expect some thoughtful and analytical dialogue.
