- Yesterday, we talked about Chaucer as a critical storyteller and read about the knight, Wife of Bath, and pardoner.
- Today, we’re talking about a current day storyteller who aims to capture different types of people and their struggles/triumphs.
- Who is Brandon Stanton?
- Visit www.humansofnewyork.com ~ Follow @humansofny
We watched a "DocuSeries" of Stanton's work detailing people through videography. The videos are only available on the "Humans of New York" Facebook page, but the photos are available on the blog and Instagram as well.
Assignment: Select one photo/caption to answer the following questions:
- Why do you think so many people have connected with this project? What do you think about it?
- Describe the subject and topic of the post. What got your attention about this one in particular
- What would you like to say to the subject of the photo if you could?
Extra Credit: Photograph and interview a subject -- print out with a caption that captures something important to them in the same style that HONY employs.
