Restrictions: The experience should be viewed during the current semester. If this is

impossible, contact the instructor to arrange for alternatives. You may not report on a

cultural experience viewed prior to this class.

Write a report after you have explored or viewed the online resource.

Your report should include the following information. Include photos or links that help

convey the information. As always, be sure to document all sources you consult in preparing

/

your work. This includes any learning resources from the class, or information from

the websites that informed you about the particular item you explored.

Name and location of the museum, site, or performance event. If there is on-line

information about the site or performance, be sure to include a link to it within the

text of your essay in an appropriate place.

Type of museum, site or event. For example is it a portrait or sculpture museum, a

music concert, or dance performance? If you viewed a performance, name the

performer or the piece.

Briefly describe the general setting by talking a bit about the location (you can

research the location online) and the general overall "vibe" of the place.

Describe at least one aspect of the experience that you found especially interesting.

For example, you might write about a particular work of art, cultural artifact, song,

dance section, costumes or lighting, a particular vocalist, etc. Explain what impressed

or affected you, and why. Your reaction can be positive or negative, as long as you

offer an explanation.

Identify and use at least two tools, concepts or methods that you have learned about

in this class in the Learning Resources to talk about your viewing. For example, if

you do a virtual museum tour, you might point out how color works in one of the

paintings, or if you view to a concert, talk about how rhythm works in one of the

songs. Make sure you are explicit in identifying the tools/concept/methods you are

using and the specific learning resources they come from. Make sure to inform the

reader about the tool/concept/method through a quote or paraphrase from the

learning resource. Then, make sure to tell the reader how you interpret and/or

analyze some elements of what you experience with the tools.

Be sure to cite the learning resources you have used in MLA format. Please

see http://sites.umgc.edu/library/libhow/mla_examples.cfm

Reflect on the relevance--if any--of your experience to your everyday life. How did

the experience engage your feelings or emotions, if at all? What does this tell you

about human culture, and/or about yourself?

STOP: Before you hand in your assignment, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Have I provided the name and location of the museum, site, or performance event

and URL, if available, identified the type of museum, site or event, and provided a
