  • Check below 1000-1200 words

    Based on the google slides attached follow the directions below:

    Basic requirements make sure to address every point on this list

  • Length approx. 1000 1200 words (excl. abstract, examples, references and additional data).
  • Title: as catchy as you want it but has to be accurate (unlike tabloid headlines)
  • Abstract (150-200 words) a summary with a story hook.
  • Introduction and background probably shorter than in your submitted proposal. You can

    • boil it down to i) the big picture problem or topic, ii) what we know about it as well as any gaps

    you may have identified, and iii) your contribution, including your less formally formulated

    thesis statement.

  • Methods you do not need all the details to allow for an accurate replication, summarize what

    • you looked at (people and contexts) and what you analyzed more specifically (observable elements

    in communication). Certain technicalities not central to your analysis can be omitted as long as

    it does not interfere with the overall understanding.

  • Results/analysis summarize results and convert them into tabs, color-coded schemes, or

    • anything visual and easily recognizable for a non-initiated reader who wants to learn about the

    topic quickly. Examples must be introduced clearly and form a logical narration (you may choose

    to narrow down the scope and present only the most relevant examples).

  • Discussion and conclusions discuss how your findings contribute to our understanding of a

    • larger phenomenon. Be realistic about what your findings tell us (not by extreme hedging, but

    by being careful in assessing what your results suggest).

  • References (both in-text citations and bibliography should follow APA style)

    • 2. Visuals and blog-like adaptations

  • Visuals: figures, charts, tables, snapshots of blogs or movie scenes. All inserted items must be

    • numbered and include captions explaining what we see in each picture or tab without reading

    the rest of the article (e.g., what does axis X represent, what are the units of measurement, or

    simply “Table/Figure 1: Genders of spaceship crew members in popular TV series”).

  • Cross-referencing relevant info: links to other sources of information that illustrate or unpack

    • something you mentioned in your article (especially if this is not the focal point of your

    discussion but is relevant for the overall topic and potentially interesting for the reader).

    Preferably not a reference to an article, but a link to something less formal, such as a TED talk,

    another blog, a FB group, a podcast, an event, or even upcoming articles from your peers.

  • 3-5 keywords for your project: for example population/context, language(s), methods
  • Optional (not considered for grading): PowerPoint slides, further reading recommendations,

    • author information, ethics declaration (one sentence that states that all participants gave their

    written permission, for example), extended data figures and tables, and acknowledgements.

    3. Overall style

    Once again, the priorities are academic content and accessible style. Avoid the patchwork of overly

    academic paragraphs followed by an extremely casual style. Stick to one voice as much as possible.

  • Anthropology Midterm

    Explain what prompt you are answering and give appropriate background so that I

    understand what you are discussing as well as where you conducted your research

    or with whom.

    Use one of the following terms within your paper: ethnocentrism, code-switching,

    cultural relativism, culture, intersectionality, cultural construction. Start by defining

    the term in your own words. Then show how it connects to your observations.

    Write at least one full page connecting your own observations to things discussed in

    the readings for the module. YOU MAY USE ARTICLES FROM EITHER MODULE 1 OR

    2! Pick articles that you can clearly link, but write about them in a way that someone

    who has never read them would understand. PLEASE DO NOT USE OUTSIDE

    SOURCES!!! Stick to what we have read in class. No more than one direct quote. I

    want to see you put things into your own words.

    Interview over linguistics

    Conduct an interview with someone who is bilingual to get better insight into how they use

    language in their daily life. You might ask them about when they use one language versus

    another, if there are words that dont have a good translation into another language, what

    language they tend to think or dream in, or if there are times they code-switch what

    language they use. Consider having them reflect on how their language reflects their

    culture or is a part of their identity and why that is important to them. Are there times they

    are afraid to speak a certain language or have been targeted for using a specific language?

    Make sure to omit potentially sensitive information from your paper (such as immigration

    status) and ask for permission to record the interview if you choose to do so in order to go

    back and listen as you write your paper. Also be sure to ask for permission to use their real

    name or if they would like you to use a pseudonym.

    As you write your paper, give a little bit of background into the person you interviewed

    (name, age, languages they speak, relationship to you). Pick out the parts of the interview

    you thought were most impactful to share and analyze. Be sure to include at least one

    direct quote from your interviewee.

    You can use the interviewee name as “Jen:

    Sources used in the course are:

    Leah Shaffer: “Is a More Generous Society Possible?”

    Paragraph 1: Short introduction to the prompt you chose, what you are talking about, and background around the research you preformed

    Paragraph 2: More in-depth analysis of the research you preformed, relating it back to anthropology and things we have discussed in class

    Paragraph 3: The term you chose with a definition in your own words and how it relates to your research

    Paragraph 4: Connection to one of the readings from Module 1 or 2. Make sure you are including specifics and relating back what you found in the readings to your own research

    Paragraph 5: Short conclusion to tie everything together.

Based on the readings from Modules 5 & 6 and the short TED video (included in this module), explain how Kymlickas vision of multiculturalism as a form of democratic citizenship grounded in human rights can be challenged in the context of the debate on denaturalizing immigrants, as discussed in the USA Today article.

  • CHAP 3 and 4 analytical essay

    Recommendation 1: The course textbook should be your main source of reference for writing assignments. No external sources should be used, unless approved by the Instructor in charge of the course.

    Recommendation 2: Your essay should only include paraphrased information. Direct quotes are no longer to be used.

    MLA style citation format.

    Essay Prompt:

    Explore and analyze the co-evolution of hominin anatomy, brain capacity, and stone tool technology from Australopithecus (earliest ancestors) to Homo sapiens sapiens (modern humans). Ensure you discuss how/why changes in bipedalism and hand anatomy allowed for tool production, and evaluate how/why the increased cognitive challenges of toolmaking might have driven cranial capacity expansion. Support your arguments with evidence from major stone tool industries (Oldowan, Acheulean, etc.) and the fossil record.
