Discussion: Perspectives on Reality
Post a response to one of the following prompts (at least 200-300 words); complete EITHER Prompt A or Prompt B.
Prompt A
Consider the imagery you created in your mind as you interacted with the written version of The Open Window. Describe this imagery and discuss whether it helped you understand the story. Did the imagery or imagined tone change when you listened to the audio? How? Which medium did you enjoy the most?
Now, do the same exercise with Sojourner Truth's speech in text and as interpreted by Cicely Tyson in video form. Which medium did you prefer and why?
Comparing the forms you preferred in each case, what might that tell you about how you learn?
OR
Prompt B
How we interpret something often depends on our past experiences and perspectives. Begin by reading the Ain't I a Woman speech given by Sojourner Truth. Describe your reactions to this speech. When you watched Cicely Tyson's interpretation through her performance, was it different than you imagined? How and why? Which medium did you enjoy the most?
Now, do the same exercise with the two articles for Omayra Sanchez's story. When her picture was released, there was controversy about whether the picture was necessary to convey her story or if it was just an attempt by the journalist to shock the public and sale more newspapers. Do you think the picture was necessary? Was the event conveyed just as vividly in the story without the picture? Why or why not?
Comparing the forms you preferred in each case, what might that tell you about how you learn?
