Project Proposal

turtleLeave a comment
  1. Title
    1. My central question Is what is the effect of becoming disabled as a child as a result of war and what that does to their mental state. The proposed product is a creative piece about these children’s lives and experiences.
  2. Central Question
    1. I’m trying to understand and put my feet into the shoes of the people my age in my country that have become disabled due to standing up for their rights and independence. I want to understand what this does to their mentality.
  3. Product Design
    1. This project is going to look like a creative non-fiction piece that forces readers to connect and learn about what it is like to be a child with a disability due to war. It will be influenced by my experience as a Palestinian woman and the research I have done for this project.
    2. I think the structure will come to me as I research, it is going to have a lot of my personal thoughts and feelings influencing the piece and so I think I’m just going to write and see what comes out and go from there.
    3. I really want to explore the mentality here. I want to know how exactly it feels to be a disabled child as a victim of war, and then to be targeted because of that disability. I want to know what it does to know the medical attention that you need, you’ll never get. I want to see what it does to know you can be permanently scarred for standing up for your right to survive.
  4. Production Plan
    1. I’m going to start by researching, then write everything I feel and want to say out before editing and organizing it into a coherent creative piece. (I know this isn’t super planned out but my creative pieces work best when they aren’t.
  5. Consultation
    1. I think it would be the most helpful to meet with Andrew towards the end of my project when I have the working pieces and I am trying to sort my thoughts out. I want input and perspective on my writing and its effectiveness for the reader.
