The final project will be your opportunity to express your own informed, critical view on the media artifact of your analysis. This can take many forms, from a traditional project (final paper, appx 6-8 pages) to a non-traditional project (performance, play, music video, digital campaign, physical artifact like a poster, clothing, installation) that illustrates a.) what the social, cultural, historical and media context is of the artifact you are analyzing b.) 3-5 key concepts from class (think core bullet points from the lectures), appropriately chosen, defined and applied to your artifact and c.) the use and application of at least 2 critical lenses using intersectionality or a treatment of how various lenses intersect and interact. Papers and projects will have different rubrics assigned, so please see the appropriate rubric for your approach.
ALL finals will be accompanied by a 3-4 minute presentation on Tuesday, June 2. Students doing projects will show what they have finished so far and what their vision is, and students doing papers will outline what their argument is and how they will support it in the paper. ALL presentations should identify:
- The media artifact + background/context
- What concepts from class have been incorporated
- What critical lenses have been utilized
- A thesis statement that gives a critical assessment of the media artifact being analyzed.
