CAR: Final Project, Vogue Conflict & Reconstruction

For this project, you will create a commemorative edition of Vogue magazine based on a topic from the class.

Each edition of Vogue should have
1. A cover with the proper logo and a human subject that is related to the topic, and
2. At least one 500 to 600-word article per person.

For the articles, you may choose to write either a feature article about a specific perspective on the topic itself or an account of an exclusive (fictional) interview with a historical figure or a character from the novel belonging to each topic where you use the novel as a historical source to explain a perspective on the topic at hand.

The topics and teams are as follows:

Each team in every group has to turn in one cover per team and at least one article per person. This means that if a team has one person, they have to make both the cover and the article. If the team has two people, the same cover counts for both of them, but each person should write and design one article.

The cover will be a team grade (15% of the overall project) and the articles will have an individual grade (85% of the overall project), so each article must specify their author and sources. Each person's grade will be generated as follows:

Rubric:

Cover has a human subject that is related to the team's topic, the correct Vogue logo (available at this link), and at least the title(s) of the article(s) written for the project.
15%
Article has a specific main idea. It has to be a complete sentence and clearly communicated in the introduction.
20%
Article has a development where all the elements of the main idea are explained.
20%
Article has a conclusion that justifies the main idea of the essay. It has to be a complete sentence and clearly communicated at the end of the article.
20%
500-600 words, not including the title, subtitle, or byline.
10%
Article is visually organized into two columns with a title, subtitle, byline, at least two images, and sources at the end.
10%
Cover and article(s) are together in one single PDF file named “Vogue CAR_[MONTH].pdf”.
5%
 TOTAL:
100%

The project should be turned in on Google Drive on Monday, April 24, 2017, before midnight. Late assignments, articles without sources, and e-mailed assignments will have an automatic zero.

    1. Listo. :D
      Nótese que en ninguna parte de las instrucciones dice que deben hacer la mínima expresión de mis instrucciones. Si un musical de la revolución rusa entra en tu edición conmemorativa de Vogue, by all means, mételo.
