PROJECT 1 INVOLVES A COLLABORATIVE GROUP EFFORT WITH AN INDIVIDUAL ASPECT. WORKING IN GROUPS OF EIGHT (8-9) STUDENTS, THE OBJECTIVE IS TO ROMANTICIZE A TYPICAL MALAYSIAN MALAY KAMPUNG AND CRAFT IT INTO A CAPTIVATING NARRATIVE JOURNEY. THIS NARRATIVE WILL THEN BE INDIVIDUALLY TRANSLATED INTO TWO (2) STANDALONE POETIC JOURNEY STRUCTURES. STUDENTS ARE TASKED WITH DEVELOPING A SINGLE NARRATIVE THAT WILL SERVE AS THE BASIS FOR BOTH STRUCTURES—ONE DESIGNED AS A CONCENTRIC JOURNEY AND THE OTHER AS A LINEAR JOURNEY (WITH MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO SUIT). SUBSEQUENTLY, STUDENTS WILL PRODUCE A POETIC VIDEO ILLUSTRATING THE JOURNEYS OF BOTH MODELS.

BECAUSE THIS PROJECT IS A GROUP PROJECT, WE WERE TO WORK WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE. THUS, THIS PROJECT HAS ENHANCED MY COMMUNICATION SKILLS AS WHENEVER WE HAD MISUNDERSTANDINGS, WE LEARNED TO COMMUNICATE INSTEAD OF ARGUING.

Reflection
