Generation X. It will include the development of a thesis statement to further refine and direct your area of research.

Explore the zeitgeist (German for "spirit of the times") of each era by traveling through the generations and examining a single area of popular culture. Continue investigating the area of popular culture you have chosen from the following list:FASHION

Consider the generation's characteristics as you explore how the area you have chosen evolved during that generation. Relate the generation to the area, and you will find the spirit of the times.

Compose your analysis with care. Analyze how the area you chose forms a portrait of the multiple generations alive during this time. Think about historical and cultural events, technological advancements, the economy, and the political climate. Describe how those changes might affect one personally.

Your project may take the form of a traditional paper. A traditional paper offers an introduction, develops a thesis with evidence, and provides a conclusion. Your paper must include functional links, clips, and/or images.

An alternative to the traditional paper is a creative work approved by your instructor and supported with a written analysis. Your written analysis will support your creative project by relating your creative work to the zeitgeist we study each week. Some examples are: a menu for each generation, a cinema showcase of film clips or self-made films reflecting each generation, a concert (your own music created in the spirit of each generation), a fashion show for each generation, a video game reflecting the generations, an oral history (interviews with family members, friends, and/or strangers about their generations).

Visual presentation is important. Be certain to present your work aesthetically. If you are composing a traditional paper, then images, clips, and/or links will add professionalism.

•Analyze how an area of popular culture was influenced by the events and/or advancements of the era.

•Assess how popular culture reflects the sociopolitical context of the era.

•Develop your critical thinking as you integrate your research with your own observations.
