Concept Identification Project

Class Concept Identification Project

DUE April 5, 2021 @11:59pm on Bb (25 Points)

This assignment involves identifying concepts in several environments that relate to the topics addressed throughout this course.

You will make five (5) entries that illustrate your recognition of class concepts in various areas that make you think about the content taught in class in some way.

These entries will come from five different sources including:

1. A real life interaction or discussion between people (including yourself or not)

2. A social media site (Insta, Facebook, Snapchap, Reddit, TikTok)

3. A news source (news article, news media site)

4. A movie or television program

5. A song(lyrics that reflect class concepts)

Your entries should relate to at least five (of the six) DIFFERENT topics we cover in class (sexism, racism, classism, ageism, ableism, or heterosexism.) These should be recorded by using the following format (You must use these headings in your paper, failure to do so will result in losing 1 point per entry for structure):

Topic: To which of the following : sexism, racism, classism, ageism, ableism, heterosexism (or homophobia or transphobia) is this entry related?

Description: Briefly describe the source of your entry along with the main components that relate to your analysis of that source.

Two ways relates to class concepts: In order to receive a “good” on the content portion, you must make a clear connection to the class material by using two specific terms/concept to connect to examples s and giving a description of WHY

this is exemplified in your choice. (This should be minimum 1/2 page)

Insight gained: A short paragraph (minimum 1/4 page) discussing your thoughts or feelings after thinking about the entry.

These entries must be typed out (12 point font, double-spaced, 1 inch margins) and submitted to Bb.

(5 points each/25 points)

Each entry is graded based on the following:

Content: ____(good, 3) ____(adequate, 2) ____(poor,1)

Structure: ____(follows format, 1) _____(does not follow format, 0)

Mechanics: ____(no major grammar errors or typos, 1) ____(contains errors, 0)

I have posted some samples entries from previous semesters so that you can see what is expected on Bb below this assignment. These entries are representative of what is needed to receive the full points.
