Midterm Media Project Assignment

The goal of this assignment is to explore a revolutionary moment in Russian and Soviet history through research, analysis, and creativity, while building your digital humanities skills. Your task is to work with a partner on one of the topics listed on the assignment sheet. (You may also choose your own topic with my approval.) You will create a 10-minute video in a genre of your choosing, which covers the topic thoroughly and presents a clear analysis of it. During Week 8, you and your partner will present your video in class and lead a Q&A session after. On your presentation day, you must also submit a brief written summary of your main points and bibliography of your sources. Each pair will receive one grade.
