Essay Instructions: WE WILL PAY $100 for this one!!!

I'm taking a class called "Research and Writing for Documentary" and I've chosen a topic: "Missionaries in the Mission Field." I've narrowed my target to one Korean-American Missionary, Missionary Chang and his family who are reaching out to the indigenous people in the Amazon. I have to follow specific instructions for this paper. I will e-mail you all the background information on my project later tonight. But before I do so, please contact me if this is something that you guys can do. thanks.

PART 1 (One page)
A project synopsis which gives an overview of the
story and the approach that will be taken to telling the
story. Include intended length and medium (film or video).
Note: A synopsis is a short, focused, condensed overview
of the piece. One paragraph only.

A discussion of the importance of the story, with
information about the intended audience and what the piece
should accomplish for the audience. One paragraph only.

PART 2 (No more than one page)
Information about how the piece will be presented to its
intended public. This section should reflect your
thinking about every possible situation in which your
work could be appreciated. For example, will you seek out
specialized audiences? Is it appropriate for social issue
consciousness raising? Will you market it to educational
communities? Will you create accompanying explanatory text
material? Do you have a particular television venue in mind
and why?

Noting festivals as one kind of venue is appropriate, but
should be mentioned last because entry into festivals is a
game of chance!

Note that PART 2 is related to the second part of PART 1, but
will be directed to your strategy for accomplishing reaching
your audience. It will be practical and logistical in content.

PART 3 (Written as a discussion, not a list)
A review of the scope of questions to be answered through
bibliographic and tape research. Note: This embraces what
you are setting out to learn through background research and
the issues your piece investigates.

This involves more than writing a list of questions you intend
to pose to your experts and participants. Your review should
embrace cultural/philosophical issues that are part of the
context of your topic.


Final Written Presentation (2)
PART 3, Cont.

of information should be made.)

This interview summary must relate to your project.

PART 5 (One page only)
An overview of the coverage that will support the story to be told. This should be as detailed as is possible at this time.
This is essentially an expansion of the synopsis created in
Part 1. It should intertwine interview and location material and
give a sense of the beginning, middle, and end of the piece.

It should be written as a narrative. The goal is to give a
vivid, captivating picture of the entire piece.
(See visualization exercise.)

Essay Instructions: The essay needs to consider the role that the Jesuit missionaries played in the history of New France circa 1633-1665. The book The Jesuit Relations by author Allan Greer is the main source and must be used. In writing this review consider; To what extent were the Jesuits willing to modify their European biases in dealing with their native charges? Why were some effective in relating to the Indians while others were scorned? Did the missionary motives of the Jesuits work to the advantage or detriment of the fur trade? To what extent should the Jesuits be blamed for the final destruction of the Hurons?

Essay Instructions: The topic can be reworded. The thesis is basically to describe the turning point of sending the first American missionaries and how they influence the churches and their mission strategies. The biography of Adoniram Judson, To the Golden Shore (0817011218), can be a good source to begin with.
