Hello Students,
Just thought I'd share one of my favorite "viral videos" with you. GLPS is called "Global Leadership" camp, and, if you notice, the theme of "leadership" shows up in many of the writing assignments I have given you. Everything from KONY to Caine to Adora involves leadership of some kind. I want you to realize that "leadership" is also a result of "creativity," and if you have a good idea you are passionate about, and want to share with others, you will automatically become a leader. Sometimes all you need is a positive message. Here is an example.
This short film was made by one guy (Jason van Genderen) piecing together words from signs he encountered on the street in two cities he'd lived in: Sydney and New York. Even more amazing - he made it with a mobile phone camera. The final result is very persuasive (lots of pathos!), and I hope you can hear the accompanying music.
What do you think inspired him to make this film in this way, and why does that make the film even more effective? Could you make something like this? What do you think the title "Mankind is no island" means?
