This first-person video assignment, from the Bad Girls of the Bible online course developed by Judy Fentress-Williams and Sarah Stonesifer, invites learners to imagine a complicated narrative from a specific perspective. For this assignment, students craft a personal response from one of the characters in Genesis 16: Abram, Sarai, Hagar, Ishmael, or the Angel.
The medium of first-person video invites immediacy and intimacy between speaker and viewer, while the work of first-person narrative requires close reading and sensitivity to the polyphony of the text.
