Senior (11 & 12)Level Activity
#6
After viewing "Arising Phoenix", divide the class into groups.
Have each group develop an artistic response to the show. This
response could be visual, musical, dramatic, poetic or combinations.
However, the group response must reflect a consensus of feeling
toward the work and must emerge directly out of the viewing of
"Arising Phoenix". Examples might include personal feeling about
what they saw, points of departure suggested by the work or cultural
connections observed.

1. use knowledge of the characteristics of media
forms, representations, audiences, and industry practices to analyse
a variety of media works;
2. demonstrate an understanding of the interactions among form,
purpose, audience, and production options by designing or creating
media works, independently and collaboratively, based on ideas,
themes, and issues examined in this course. Communicate orally
for a variety of purposes, with a focus on extending information
and ideas; exploring possibilities; drawing conclusions; understanding
and using business and technical concepts and language; and assessing
ideas and arguments for coherence, relevance, omissions, and values
(e.g., prepare for an interview for a summer job connected with
a specific college program; present a portfolio of student work
to a panel of adjudicators);
3. communicate orally in group discussions, applying such skills
as the following: contributing to and leading productive discussions;
suggesting directions and solving problems within the group; connecting
ideas and arguments to other knowledge; making inferences; summarising
significant ideas and issues; recording key information; reporting
on the process used by the group to make decisions; and fulfilling
roles and completing tasks as required to produce high-quality
presentations and products;
4. use critical listening skills to analyse and assess the content
of oral presentations (e.g., detect assumptions, omissions, and
perspectives; assess the validity of the arguments, evidence,
and conclusions; ask questions to extend understanding; write
accurate summaries using appropriate technical language);
5. plan and deliver oral presentations and conduct interviews,
with a focus on researching information and ideas, organising,
rehearsing, andrevising;
6. use techniques for making effective oral presentations, with
a focus on previewing, reviewing, summarising, using parallel

handouts, charts and other visual aids, and technology;
