· Guidance for Assignment 3
Class,
Here is some guidance for completing Assignment 3: Cultural Activity Report.
It is worth 100 points, 10% of your final grade for the course, so do it as well as you can.
In terms of the word count, which says 500-750 words, this is a just a minimum figure. You can write more than that, if you wish.
Similarly, 2-3 pages should be seen as the range for the main part of your paper. To this you should add the title page and the reference page.
The objective is to answer the question the best you can, not just hit a particular word limit.
A good paper should include the following:
-Title page
-Write about the venue/event location. When was it built, who was the architect, what style of architecture is it? This information you may well be able to find on the venue website.
-Describe your initial reaction to arriving at the venue.
-Describe at least two pieces of art, such as paintings, sculptures, etc. Provide as much detail as you can about the artist, the pieces, their importance, and any other interesting facts about the pieces.
-Include connections between any pieces at the venue and the course material.
-Provide a summary of the event and describe your reaction to the experience.
-Reference page, with at least one academic source. You can use the textbook as a source.
Be sure to support your points with specific information.
Please check the grading rubric for the assignment, so that you know how the points are awarded.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.
Regards,
Prof. Anthony McCormack.
