1. Meeting of the Minds project

MEETING OF THE MINDS PROJECT

A moderator on a television program has a job to interview and discuss issues with the guests.

Choose three real persons from history, at least one of which is an author. They are to be the guests on the show. Script a program in which the moderator and the three figures discuss an issue.

The guests should represent different and/or opposing views on the issue.

You will be graded on the thoroughness in which the issue is discussed, the proper views of the guests as they would have seen it, attention to detail, and time. It is important to get the views of the guests properly across. Having them use exact quotes would be a plus.

It must be between five minutes and ten minutes long.

You will act this out in class.

We will video each of the programs.

This is due on Monday, October 26.

They will be presented on Monday, October 26, and if necessary, Tuesday, October 27.
