In this culminating project, students create a reflective and analytical response to Sinners that draws on the unit’s themes of resistance, healing, and solidarity. They will examine how music, dance, and sound function as narrative tools—expressing what words alone cannot.

Students may choose their mode of expression—such as a hybrid essay, podcast, audio story, visual art, or multimedia piece—blending cultural critique with personal insight by connecting scenes from the film to their identities, histories, or communities.

They may also engage with elements of Black Horror to explore how fear and the supernatural reflect cultural trauma and survival, drawing on the work of scholars like Tananarive Due.

Throughout the project, students will develop multimodal literacy, semiotic analysis, and critical reflection, exploring how sound and movement carry memory, emotion, and resistance—and how these elements live in their own cultural and creative practices.
