NACIREMA PROJECT

Due date: Sep 15th

Assignment goal: The goal of this project is to have the student reflect critically on one aspect of their own culture that they otherwise take for granted. By holding a mirror to our own culture, we hope to also be able to learn to see other cultures more clearly.

Description: Choose any American cultural practice, ritual or artifact that would be unfamiliar to someone outside our culture. These could include shopping at Walmart, a wedding, or a video game. Describe this element of culture in a 2-3 page essay. You do not need to describe your intended audience, nor the significance of the element to our society; simply describe it in complete detail using an outsider’s perspective. You should NOT have any outside sources cited in the paper – this is YOUR description based on observation and current knowledge. The essay must be double-spaced using 12-point font and only aligned left (do not justify). It should also include a title.

Grading: The project will be graded on the following criteria:

1. Content (60%): includes thoroughness of description, as well as creativity/originality and amount of effort.

2. Technical writing skills (30%): includes grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization; also organization and flow

3. Compliance with assignment guidelines (10%): includes required number of pages, font & spacing and timely submission. NOTE: I will deduct 5 points for each class period the assignment is overdue. I consider a paper overdue if received after 5pm on the due date.
