Task 1: Putting it in Perspective
Task 3: Making a Choice
*Task to be completed at will after Tasks 1 & 2*
Throughout Graceland, Elvis is making choices on a daily basis. Some of these choices are simple, and some carry severe consequences. As teenagers, students, sons and daughter, residents of The United States, and human beings you are constantly put in positions in which you must make choices, much the same way Elvis does. What are some of the choices we must make in life? No one said making choices was easy.
Listen:

Drug Use
Above are a few sites, sounds, and images to get you thinking about difficult choices, however, it is time for you to begin making your own choices.
Task:
For this final task you will be making all the choices. You must choose an important choice Elvis makes, keep in mind that he is constantly making choices, so seemingly insignificant choices might be more important than you originally believed.
Once you choose a scene, you will then be searching the Internet for articles, artwork, photography, audio clips, and anything else you find worthwhile that can be related to Elvis's difficult choice.
Once you have compiled 5-7 sources (maximum of three images) create your own Quest on your blog posting your sources and a completed assignment of your choosing. This assignment can be an essay, a story, a movie, etc. that analyzes Elvis's choice in some way. Be sure to incorportate your sources in a thoughtful and meaningful way.
Think back on the previous tasks and Graceland to gain inspiration and direction.
