Question

So, my final assignment for my English class is to dispel a myth....

Answer 1

You will create an artifact that dispels one of the myths in the textbook. This artifact might be a poster, short video, children’s book, art work, etc.

Answer 2

I also have to present this in class .-.

Answer 3

I need some ideas of how I can dispel a myth...

Answer 4

Here are all the myths in the textbook:

The Myth of the Model Family
The Myth of Education and Empowerment
The Myth of Individual Opportunity
Myths of Gender
The Myth of the Melting Pot
American Myths of Freedom

I was thinking of choosing 'The Myth of Education and Empowerment'

But I don't know any artifact that I can create to dispel it :/

Answer 5

If you need to more about that myth, a simple google search can tell you a lot. =P

Answer 6

by myths of gender does it mean gender stereotypes?

Answer 7

Here is what the prof gave us the for the whole assignment =P

Description: You will create an artifact that dispels one of the myths in the textbook. This artifact might be a poster, short video, children’s book, art work, etc. You will also present your project to the class at the end of the semester.
Requirements:
Artifact:
• Your artifact should show creativity and effort. Thus, it shouldn’t look like you sloppily threw it together at the last minute.
• The artifact should clearly make an argument/point about one of the myths in the textbook. Parody, satire, and humor are certainly welcome.

Answer 8

Myths of gender includes myths like gender inequality, objectification of women, the guy code, what a real man is, and stuff like that .-.

Answer 30

[con't from the chat- I reached the max char xD ]

If you'll do the myth of the melting pot.. i''ll suggestion you make some kind of cult-jam poster... main object is the pot. The ingredients are the different races in america.. then in the pot, the myth says they should melt and become americans, but instead, don't change anything.. what I mean is whatever goes into the pot, it will be like that--that's how you show that the myth is not true.

Or cut the pot into half, the first side is the myth.. ingredients(different people) that go into the pot will turn into the pot will turn into something that symbolizes the americans (you can use the american flag) . Then on the other half, show that some people in America maintains their identities :)

Don't know if you'll understand it lel

99er's + A post = attracts people = spam = report = stop = leave = smile. ^_^

@Jadzia take note:

"i'll suggest",

Answer 66

Answer 70

so what do you need help with @TheSmartOne

Answer 71

Do you still need help with this?

Answer 72

do you still want help?

Answer 73

I try to see what you are saying Jadzia. But I don't get how I am dispelling the myth .-.

Answer 74

To dispel the myth, you have to prove that different races in america still maintain their identity and they are not becoming too americanized - which the other half of the pot is saying.

am i right @Jadzia ? :P
