Our class proposal and Homework. __INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE "KNOW YOUR PENPALS PROJECT"__ We can get different messages across the world through many mediums, some of them being photographs and video. We're sure you've heard the saying "a picture's worth a thousand words", well, lets test that. The purpose of this project, and our plan is to get to know eachother's personality just a little more through photos and video that tell something about our hobbies or important things in our lives. That being said, please follow these steps:


 * 1) On a piece of paper, list the top 5 activities you like to take part in (ex: a sport, art, cooking, etc.) and next to each, your reasons for choosing this item in one short sentence. On the reverse side of this paper, list the top 5 items in your home that you value or treasure the most, and next to each your reason why in one short sentence.
 * 2) For the two lists your created, narrow them down this way: Out of the 5 activities of your choice, choose the one you find yourself involved in the most/ Out of the 5 items from home, choose the one item that you would take with your if you were parted from home, forced to never return.
 * 3) Here's the fun part, using a camera/cellphone, make a short 30sec.-1min. clip or take a picture that shows us:
 * yourself involved in your favorite activity or something that has to do with your activity and a reason for choosing it over the other 4 from your previous list.
 * OR**
 * your highly treasured item from home that you couldnt go without and give us your reason for chooing it over the other 4 from your previous list.
