ENGL 1010/1011 Project 3: Examining Popular Culture Working Texts: — Ede, Chapter 5 “Analyzing and Synthesizing Texts,” (105-128) — Ede, Chapter 6 “Making and Supporting Claims,” (144-166) — Ede, Chapter 7 “Doing Research” (183-213) — Ede, Chapter 9 “Strategies for Multimodal Composing,” (319-335) — A Popular Culture Artifact — At least three sources pertaining to your Artifact, at least one of which is a scholarly source Writing Work: Up until now, we have spent our time examining, discussing, and writing about topics that I chose for this class that are part of the larger theme of pop culture. For this project, I would like for you to choose your own topic. Once you have chosen something to explore, you will carefully examine your Artifact (whatever you are looking at under the pop culture umbrella) and research your topic, creating a proposal and presentation to share your topic with the class and receive feedback from myself and your peers. After getting some direction from this process, you will then use the insight you gain through research and feedback to create a project exploring your topic, drawing conclusions about the popularity of your chosen subject. This project can take any number of forms, and if you have an idea that isn’t listed, you can run it by me and we can decide together whether it’s viable. Some potential formats for this project include: • A “Ted Talk” style vlog entry • A Wiki entry or entries • A podcast • A website • A Prezi • A PowerPoint • A Research Paper The format of the project is entirely up to you, but you’ll need to discuss what form this will take in your proposal and presentation. Please keep in mind that if you choose any format other than a research paper, you must also include a 3-5 page Debrief discussing what you did and why. Proposal— (2 Pages) Write a proposal for your final project. This proposal should discuss your topic (what pop culture Artifact(s) will you be examining?), why you chose that topic, what you think you might say about that topic (what conclusions will you come to?), and what format you’ll be using for the project (is it a vlog? A wiki entry? A research paper?) You should also include a discussion of what type of sources you think you will use for your project and why, along with a works cited page containing at least three sources that you intend to look at. Presentation— (5 minutes of explaining your project to your group) Give a brief presentation about your project including some background about your chosen Artifact, why you’ve chosen that subject, some critical article that will tie into your project, what type of sources you intend to use, what conclusions you think you might draw, and what format your project will take. After you present, we will discuss your project as a group. Project— (10 Page Research Paper OR Project plus 3-5 Page Debrief) Using the resources that we’ve explored as a class, along with your own research, explore something that is popular that interests you. What you choose to discuss is limited only by what can be classified as popular. You can examine anything that falls under the umbrella of popular culture including and not limited to sports, music, television, movies, books, video games, toys, commercials, musicals, comic books, magazines, newspapers, celebrities, or internet content. Once you have chosen your Artifact, you will need to do some research. We learned during our library visit about some of the databases and resources that might be helpful in finding further information about your topic. Use these databases to find sources that are specific to your topic as well as sources that help you to understand the subject but may not specifically address your Artifact (for example, if you choose to write about Alex Jones, our readings on fake news might still prove helpful). You should find and use at least three items to explore your topic. While at least one of these items must be a scholarly book or article, other possibilities include other pop culture Artifacts that help illuminate something about your chosen Artifact like magazine articles, advertisements, blog posts, message board posts, fanfiction, fanart, memes, or other fanworks—anything that helps us to understand your chosen Artifact and why it is popular. After finding some relevant sources, use them to explore your topic and create your project. Your project should explore some aspect or aspects of the popularity of your chosen Artifact and draw some conclusions about that popularity (why it is popular). If you’re writing a research paper, or if not then when you write your Debrief, you should include textual evidence and/or specific examples, but like the Artifact itself, what you explore and how you choose to explore it are entirely up to you.
