Carefully read all feedback on your video posted on the Bridges "Forum." You will need to be prepared to write a response to this feedback in class today.
Each person in the group should share the video with one other person outside this class to get feedback. You want to ask them to view the video without any context beyond the "Quest for Refuge" project title. After they watch the video, ask them:
To describe their understanding of your community partner's story, their purpose in telling their story, etc.
What they are taking away from the story
What moments in the story they found most compelling and most confusing
What else they would have wanted from the video/would have wanted to change
Take notes as they offer you feedback, and bring those notes to class today.
