In this project we look back at the decades that really change the world. Some were for the better, some for the worse. We had to create four artifacts to show of the main features on that decade. Everyone also had to read a book that was either written in your decade or was written about your decade. The last main part of the project was writing a choose your own adventure (CYOA) story. A CYOA is a story with multiple endings. If you want to read it this is the website !
For the first artifact my group choes to do a portrait of the singer Françoise Hardy. The 60s were her prime time of fame. We choes her to represent the music in france becuase she was very unique and distinct sound. She had a huge influence on the France cultrure. On of my group members, Sofia Mertz, took for this part of the project.
The second artifact was an remake of Julia Childs cooking shows ¨The French Chef". This show first came out on February 2, 1963. Julia Child was a chef that was well known for her french cuisine and her original behavior on screen. That is only one of the resaons why we picked to use her to represnt more of the cultrure part. She was one of the first chefs that created a tv show depicting cooking as entertaining.
The person acting as Juila Child (aka the star) is Joseph Guyse. Sofia and I wrote and filmed him. If you want to see the videos click the link to my presetion and enjoy! |
Somethings that I learned about France in the 60s is that today in the States similar things are happening. Things like rights movements, politics and the fashion today have a huge influence. Even though this was in a different country and time people seem to find it very inspiring. I'm proud of all of my artifacts but my favorite artifact that we made was the ¨The French Chef" cooking show. Julie Child is still a cooking icone and was very personal on her show. Working on this video was fun and I really wanted to work hard on this artifact.
If I could change one thing about this project it would be the quality of the two out of the three videos we did. We filmed a hot seat with Julia Child and a new segments. We mostly focused on the cooking show and the other two were a after thought. I would want to make them just more in depth.

The decade I choes was France in the 1960s. The book my group and I picked to read was Planet of the Apes written by Pierre Boulle. This had nothing to do with the 60s in France but it was written in 1963.
This story follows the character Ulysse on a space expedition to a planet Betelgeuse. When arrived comes to the conclusion that on this earth-like planet humans are the thoughtless and senseless creatures and the apes are in command. On this planet they capsure a ape named Zira. They try to experiment on her to see the differences. Throughout the story they learn that they are not so different |
