Assignment 1 - "Back To Our Roots"

Part A - "What is my Culture?"  

Introduction to the assignment:  

"if you can understand the forces which shaped men's lives then you can better understand those men." Val Greenwood This interpretation of family history fits squarely with the view that all family history is contextual, i.e., it cannot be viewed in isolation or separated from its historical framework. At its root, genealogy satisfies basic human curiosity. It summarizes the questions of the past, the present and a glimpse of what will shape the future

Tasks : 

Individually, you are to create a 90-second video highlighting the culture you grew up with. It should reflect the significant importance of the culture towards your family, how it affects your well-being and most importantly how it shapes you as the individual you are now. *The culture that you highlight in the video can include a particular event, custom or belief that you and your family practice and is significant to the family. You can include images/ visuals and clipping from videos related to the highlighted culture. Include keywords and short description in the video to support the content. The video should be creative, on-point and have a clear storyline to highlight the culture. 

 Submission requirements: 

1. The 90-second video will be uploaded in your group e-portfolio link
