Richmond Green Secondary School
Grade 11 English: Social Injustice & Literary Responsibility
Research a social injustice issue of your choice, and explore what members of the literary and artistic community (poets, novelists, journalists, painters, photographers, filmmakers etc.) have done to speak out about and to motivate action against this injustice.
Organize your research in the form of an annotated scrapbook, including an annotated bibliography, and present the key points of your research in a 10 minute oral presentation. Accompanying your scrapbook, you must create one of the following: a short original documentary, awareness commercial, a series of print advertisements or a website targeted for a North American audience.
