The assignment is to construct an annotated bibliography based on a broad topic that is likely to contain controversial issues within its framework. This argument will be based on an issue you will choose based on your research during the annotated bibliography section of the assignment and will be detailed in an assignment called a prospectus—but more about the prospectus later.
An annotated bibliography is, in simple terms, a bibliography that includes, in addition to the normal bibliographic information, a short description of the work you are listing. Your bibliographic citation will look like a traditional APA citation, but will be followed by a brief paragraph describing the work and the reason it may be useful in researching your topic.
The bibliography should contain 15 academic peer reviewed sources

Formatting specifics:
– 5–7 pages, double-spaced, 1-inch margins (minimum 5 full pages)
o no cover pages please
– 12 pt. Garamond or Times New Roman font
– * Must include an interesting title
– You must use in-text MLA citation and provide a Works Cited page (which does not count toward final page count)
– You must use a minimum of 3 citations from the poem in your analysis, and a minimum of 4 additional citations from outside research.

PROMPT: Close Reading / Analytical Essay
The increased politicization of poetry marked a way that modernist poets broke tradition of their predecessors, and many of them wrote about the politics that affected them personally and as artists. Research the political situation(s) that inspired Pablo Neruda’s poem “I’m Explaining A Few Things” & Pablo Picasso’s painting Guernica. View the painting, and read http://www.pbs.org/treasuresoftheworld/a_nav/guernica_nav/main_guerfrm.html) .
The first part of your essay should discuss the political & historical contexts of each the poem and the painting. Because you will be doing research, you will need to cite your sources. During this first part of your essay, you should use a minimum of 4 examples from Neruda’s poem to demonstrate where and how Neruda is responding to/writing about the political/historical situation.
The second part of your essay should be dominantly analytical in your close reading of the poem (and painting). Discuss the surrealistic quality of Picasso’s and Neruda’s images: how do Neruda’s tone, varying length of stanzas, and half lines parallel Picasso’s painting?

EVALUATION:
I will evaluate your essay on the depth with which you analyze the following multi-part questions, as well as on the criteria immediately listed below:
• your essay should contain an introductory paragraph which demonstrates your understanding of modernist poetry (what it was, the values, ideals, and beliefs it demonstrated or espoused, in your own words) and should contain a clear thesis which outlines what your essay will discuss, analyze, and explore.
• your essay will be analytical in nature in your exploration of analyzing Neruda & Picasso, in both their respective historical and political contexts and in your analyzing their works alongside one another.
• your essay should be amply supported by textual examples (minimum of 4 examples from the poem), with in-text MLA citation.
• your essay should demonstrate sufficient research of each of the political histories associated with the poem and the painting, and the understanding of those contexts will be conveyed dominantly in your own words, rather than quoted from an outside source.
• your essay should be proofread and should be free of grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors.

These proposals must answer the following questions:

 

• What is your topic? What is the particular angle you will take on this topic? For example, if you choose to research homelessness, will you explore causes?; effects?; programs to address it?; homelessness in a particular geographical area?; amongst a particular group? (e.g. women, war veterans, etc.)

Should they be involved on the front-end or simply responsible for carrying out the plan? What level(s) (top, middle, first-line, non-managerial) are necessary to implement your recommendation? Does the answer to this question, impact who should be involved in the planning and organizing stages?

Your completed assignment will consist of a title page, the body of the report (the body should be 3 to 4 pages—see below), a reference page, and an appendix.

Critical Analysis: Race, Class, Gender, Sexuality, and Other Topics in Film

In my essay I want you to be discussing how genders differ in Cinderella the movie, and talk about how we get to know more of the women’s characters than the men.

Again, the first step for this essay will be to pick a film that you can watch and re-watch and then engage with critically. This essay asks, though, that you go beyond simply analyzing one text – the film – as we did for the first essay. We are broadening our understanding of analysis to include a critical resource: Weber’s “A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality.” You will create a critical conversation that goes beyond simply examining a theme. This assignment requires you to use the “lens” text in order to delve into your film. Thus, your essay will combine the textual analysis of the first alongside the critical lens to create a stronger and more detailed investigation. You will need to use specific quotes from the resource as well as clear citations. Ultimately, you will create a synthesized argument.

As always, the possibilities for this are quite endless. Possibilities include but are most certainly not limited to: construction of masculinity in the war film; femininity in horror; race in horror; masculinity in James Bond; the white savior trope in many Hollywood films (think sports, etc.); stereotypical portrayals of gays and lesbians (in just about anything); a film that challenges stereotypical portrayals of fill in the blank; gender and sexuality in adolescent films; romantic comedies and sexuality; ideal of the American dream, etc.
Further Clarification of the Must Haves:
• Presents a thesis that integrates the critical resource with the film
• Supports the thesis through well-developed paragraphs that are organized
• Includes specific details and evidence from the film (scenes, dialogue, characters, etc.)
• Quotes from the critical resource used to support the discussion
• MLA format
• Uses the terminology from A Short Guide to Writing about Film and Blackboard articles alongside my presentations and our discussions
• Avoids too much summary
• Introduction and conclusion
• Organization, flow, and transitions
• Strong mechanics

This writing assignment asks you to identify some kind of social norm and then examine that norm based on the seven criteria we talked about during lecture. Here are those seven criteria:

1. To what extent is the norm known and recognized?
2. What is the mode of transmission? How do we learn about the norm?
3. How much have people internalized the norm?
4. How much and how often do we conform to the norm?
5. Does the norm apply to all groups?
6. Is the norm severely or lightly enforced?
7. What is the mode and consistency of enforcement?

Please be clear about what specific norm you have identified and then examine that norm along each of those seven criteria. Your write up should be between 800-1000 words

*Case Conceptualization
1-3 paragraphs explaining the details of the client’s case (e.g., history, presenting problems, other life details) using key concepts of the selected theory.

*Recommendations
1-3 paragraphs providing recommendations for treatment and next steps based on the selected theory.

*Critique
1 paragraph including a benefit and drawback of conceptualizing the client’s case with the selected theory
