PURPOSE
For this project, you will be asked to create an “Interview with a Pilgrim” documenting the beliefs and practices surrounding travel to one of these sacred locations: Shikoku, Kailash, Kumbh Mela, Camino, Lourdes, Karbala, and Israel/Birthright.
REQUIREMENTS
To successfully complete this project, you will need to:
Your final product should be a 5+ minute video, submitted along with your script. The script should be double-spaced and written in Times New Roman 12-point font with 1-inch margins. Each group member’s name and a title should appear on the first page, and all pages should be numbered at center bottom. Research materials should be cited using MLA format.
After all the interview videos have been watched, we will have a Harkness discussion on pilgrimage as an interreligious theme, so please be sure to take notes as you watch your classmates’ projects.
QUESTIONS FOR GROUPS: PILGRIMAGE PROJECT
Please answer the questions below. The specific number may depend on your teacher.
The nature of this project lends itself to all kinds of sources, including websites. You may find "official" sites for your pilgrimage, interviews or first-hand accounts of those who have completed the pilgrimage (print or audio/visual), photos of important sites, etc. It is important to evaluate these sources before you decide to include them in your research, however. Keep these important aspects in mind:
Use the checklist below to help guide you while looking at sources.
Be sure to cite your sources! Our library databases make it easy for you to copy and paste citations. However, you will have to format them yourself if you are using websites, books, or other resources. The Online Writing Lab at Purdue is a great resource for formatting your Works Cited. You can also use NoodleTools. See Ms. Matlack if you have any questions or need additional help with your sources.
