Independent Study Project - Part 2
Choose **TWO** of the following three options on which to base the analysis of your TED Talk:
 * 1) Find **FIVE pictures** in a magazine or online or photos from your personal life, or go out and take some photos that you think represent ideas discussed in the talk.
 * Make a collage, or a photo journal describing how each picture is representative of the book. Be specific when explaining your connections. Use quotations/specific details from your TED Talk (NO GENERIC REFERENCES THAT COULD BE ABOUT ANYTHING).
 * 1) Choose **FOUR songs** that you associate with your TED Talk and explain how they connect
 * Provide the links to necessary videos.
 * Write a **paragraph** **(minimum) for each song**, making the connection to your TED Talk (MAKE SURE YOUR CONNECTIONS ARE SPECIFIC AND WELL-SUPPORTED—GIVE DETAILS)
 * 1) **Lessons Learned**: Examine and prove you learned a valuable lesson.
 * Focus on **TWO** different lessons learned.
 * You can present your analysis in a suitable medium (powerpoint, poster, etc.)
