A lot of times people feel on the cusp of their generation – or
maybe even as though they are part of a completely other
generation – so, we want to consider where you fit in.
Choose six different elements that show you fall into some of the cliché
characteristics of a specific generation and document through photos these
characteristics! Be appropriate, don’t get into trouble – but be witty, and even
satirical if you like! Put your pictures together in a word document, pages,
upload as
a PDF into turnitin by 11:59pm on Monday! Be sure you
keynote, power point – whatever works best for you, and then
label the generation, and then identify the characteristic you are representing!
