Literary Hybridity!

Here is an interesting video on literary hybridity which melds short film with poetry in a way that is different from visual narrative. It makes me think of my favorite genre: the mashup and what we could do with this in 9th and 10th to build understanding of intertextuality. I wonder if I could get the kids in 10th to do a hybridity project in which they either used found [visual] "texts" and mashed them with a poem or a selection of prose and then created them using Moviemaker or iMovie, and defended them like an IB Art exam. Since we just did a similar project, I will skip it this year, let it germinate and move onto... Soundscapes!!!
