In this assignment, the material course must be linked with the chosen story. I separated the slides into week 2, week 4, etc. I also added the course film list. To link the course material with the story, I am expecting it to be written like” in week 2 of the course it was discussed about…. which is related to the story in this way. The same applies to the film list. in the film….. it is related to the story chosen in this way….
about
Harding (2005) (attached) and Matika Wilbur TEDxSeattle talk (video link in instructions) this is just to link with the chosen story, not to analyze them
