These build on the rough notes you prepare for class and turn them into a report of your “findings” that not only describe what you saw/experienced but also interpret them and draw (tentative) conclusions.
– Represent a good-faith effort to carry out the assigned prompt/exercise;
– Use course Concepts, supported by quotations and paraphrases from assigned readings, to perform an analysis of selected artifacts from your notes;
– Based on these analyses, identify one or more themes of relevance to the topic of media and childhood;
– Use well-organized and well-edited prose appropriate for a research report;
– And include complete in-text citations to all course readings paraphrased or quoted in the report (any outside sources should be referenced in full).
