HUMA 1301 Project 4 PROMPT:
- Length of 2.5-4 pages (at least 600 words), write on the topic below:
A culture expresses some of its most important values through its creative and imaginative works. Throughout our course, we have looked specifically at representations of Afro-Caribbean culture* in creative works and discussed the many cultural concerns, or values, that these works embody.
Assignment: Choose ONE value (spirituality, love, family, ancestry, fame, citizenship, community, self-respect, etc.) and explain how culture’s creative works (film, art, music, literature, poetry, folklore etc.) demonstrate that value. What do works show us about what we value as a culture?
Use at least two class texts (and/or videos) and one from outside the course to make your case (and be sure to cite these texts correctly in-text and in a Works Cited page).
Zora Neale Hurston, James Baldwin, Julie Dash’s Daughter of the Dust, Warsan Shire, Beyoncé, etc.
You will be evaluated on your ability to use specific details to clearly demonstrate a pattern of thought in a cultural context. Be sure to explain how the value is expressed, and how works of different types portray the value in their own way.
- You will be graded on three areas:
- content – how clearly and accurately you answer the question above and how well you defend and explain your answer with specific examples from the texts (not meeting the minimum page requirement will impact content)
- organization – how well you organize your essay with a clear thesis/argument, introduction, conclusion, and well-defined body paragraphs
- grammar/MLA – how well you format, proofread, and edit your paper – a Works Cited page is required
Remember that this essay is worth 20 points of your entire course grade!
- Tip: See the following link for help with MLA formatand your WORKS CITED PAGE. Because poor grammar/mechanics/sentence construction will detract from the quality of your paper, I highly suggest staying after class one day to look at draft with me.
- Submission: Papers should be submitted to the Turnitin link: DUE Thursday, May 30th by class time. They will also need to be uploaded to a regular assignment link. SUBMIT IN TWO PLACES.
*While we have discussed “Afro-Caribbean culture” in class by looking at the African diaspora throughout the U.S. South and the Caribbean, you may choose to specify which culture, by looking specifically at Yoruban culture, Gullah/Geechee culture, southern culture, etc.
