TERM PROJECT DETAILS

Overview

For the term project in this class, you will create a report on some aspect of folk music studied in the course. This is an opportunity for you to investigate deeply one aspect of the music we are studying. This could be a personality, a region, a development, a genre or sub-genre, an influential event or concert, or any other narrowly-defined facet of the music we are covering. For example, you might choose to research and write about the musician Lead Belly, or the development of Klezmer music in the New York area. You might create a multi-media report featuring video and song that traces the jam session as a common feature of many musics, or the revival of sacred harp singing, or the events surrounding the first recording of Goodnight Irene. Or you might interview a local musician and then analyze and trace his or her musical influences. These are just a few examples of what the project might entail, and how it might be presented. You will work in consultation with the instructor to identify a suitable topic and presentation format.

Format

• The report could take many forms, including written material, audio recordings, video presentations, artistic renderings, documentary productions, or any other suitable means of conveying information.
• If you choose to write a paper, it should be no fewer than seven pages, double-spaced, in 12-point font.
• Projects with a significant multi-media component should include no fewer than five pages of written text, double-spaced, in 12-point font. This could be a script
• Because this is an online class, the format should be viewable/hearable online in some way, or (ideally) have the ability to be emailed.
• Any writing that you submit should follow the MLA Style. For help on writing in this style, see .

Timeline

During the course we will be reading a sweeping overview of folk music by Kip Lornell, and viewing many videos on several folk musics and folk music-related events. You will probably find many interesting subjects that merit further inquiry. Pay attention to your interests, and think about what you might like to delve into. You may want to look ahead to future topics in the first weeks of class to identify a topic of interest for your term project.

Grading

The report will be graded primarily on content and argument. In addition to providing information about what an aspect of folk music looked like and/or sounded like (who, what, when, and where-type questions), your report should answer in some way the question: Why is this aspect of folk music significant/influential? What does it or did it contribute to the landscape of folk music in America?

Grammar, structure, effective presentation media, and appropriate style considerations will also figure into the grade.

The term project comprises 25% of your final grade

OpenStax Textbook:

Refer to the provided PDF for instructions and resources. Stick to only the resources that are provided and quotations are not included towards the minimum word count. Please include a rough draft with AI grammar checks as well. If not applicable, please send me rough draft with errors and I will do the AI page and correct errors myself.

Unlike DBs and Activities, there is no assigned prompt or question. Instead, your submission should reflect on major course themes/ideas or connect what you’ve learned this week to content from previous weeks. The purpose of this post is not just to list facts you’ve learned, but to reflect on what you’ve learned and how it informs your understanding of the past. Make certain to use your own words and write clearly and give specific examples. The primary focus is your acquisition of knowledge and how the past matters in your life today. Focus on your interpretation and use the facts from the materials to support your analysis.

WDIL is worth 5 points.

The rules for WDIL are

• Think about the various ideas and topics covered during the week.
• Write at least 400 words (exclusive of quotes), analyzing something that was new for you in this week’s content, or something you found particularly interesting/compelling.
• If you are not sure what to write about, go back to the learning materials or readings for ideas. There are many analytical questions sprinkled throughout the weekly material.
• WDIL should include a clear reference to at least one clear textual example from any of the materials assigned for this week. All quoted material must be cited in APA formatting, using parenthetical citations.
• Before you submit, please review the rubric. To earn full credit, your submission must actively analyze and reflect on course material -simply stating what you learned without any analysis will not earn full points. Statements such as-“I thought X was interesting,” “I learned X.” or “I will use X to be a better citizen.” or “X influences the way I see the world.”- do not meet the criteria.
• The WDIL assignment is a good place to make clear personal connections between your life and beliefs and the material covered in the class materials and lectures. Connections must be clear, detailed, and specific to you and your personal life. Include a personal connection, but remember, you are sharing this with your instructor. Do not share information you wish to keep private and do not want anyone to know.

The essay needs to be at least 800 words, its called a “precis” and the professor does not want summaries of the texts but a deep understanding of the text with three open- ended questions throughout the essay. How does it make me feel and what are my thoughts on the events that occurred. The book is “Occupied America: A history of chicanos, 9th edition by Rodolfo F. Acuna”

chapter 9 pages 182-197. It cant be Ai written due to professor checking with Ai detection apps. I have uploaded instructions and requirements plus the text for the chapter.
