Last week you selected a topic and began conducting research for your Media Analysis Project. Now it is time to use that research to formalize your thesis and create an outline for you paper. If you put in a good effort here, the act of actually writing the paper will be much easier.

Even though this paper is an analysis using a specific approach, it needs to have a thesis. This thesis should frame the way you choose to approach the six perspectives. Click the link below for an example.

Example Thesis

Your outline should show the key points you will bring up in the paper. You will want to start to integrate your research in support for your key points. You can use the example outline linked below as a guide.

Example Outline

After you complete your thesis and outline immediately begin to work on your paper itself. You can always adjust the paper based on the feedback you receive at a later time.

Due Date

Your final project is due in Week 05. There will be individual assignments along the way. The week they are due is noted in the time line below.

Requirements

Your analysis must encompass all six perspectives. This will be a detailed analysis consisting of 6-8 written pages. You must also use four credible academic sources in addition to the media itself. All sources must be cited in-text as well as on a reference page using standard APA format. Information on using APA is available on the Online Library which is accessible through the Resources tab. Your final paper must include proper mechanics (clear, concise, and complete sentences and paragraphs), proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Evaluation

Each assignment leading up to the final assignment is evaluated and graded independently. Your instructor will provide specific grading criteria for each step of the project prior to its due date.
