term paper

 This specific assignment requires you to decide on the topic of your term paper. Your topic can be anything related to the subject of dance. Obviously in a class titles “History of Dance” you will be studying a chronological progression of dance as an art form throughout history. That being said I am not limiting you to deciding on a specific period of dance in history. Realize that we are starting in the primitive and ancient civilizations of western culture so if your topic is more current you will have to do research in addition to what we are covering in the text which may be an earlier time period. At this early juncture in the term paper process try to narrow your search to a topic you may be interested in such as an artist (Michael Jackson?) or style of dance (Hip hop?), a period of dance (disco?) or even a subject related to dance (dance therapy?) the list is endless! You can change your topic but I am "pushing" you to commit to something related to dance that you can see spending time researching this semester. Once you begin in earnest with your works cited and developing your thesis statement you may find that your topic changes and that is fine and part of the process! Always feel free to "run it by me" and I will give you my "take" but in the end it's up to you! Start early....this is a semester long project....enjoy the journey!
