Please plan ahead and contact me in case an emergency prevents you from finishing this assignment. You will write an 8 page, double-spaced (minimum) paper in which you examine a form of a tangible gender communication (an artifact) i.e. TV episode, newspaper article, movie, song/music video, photograph, magazine, exhibit, advertisement, social media group or exchange, interview etc. You will give a clear description of your artifact answering thoroughly Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. You will then analyze your example employing AT LEAST 4 concepts from our weekly readings, modules (commentaries), and/or discussions. You should structure your paper as follows: Introduction (about 1 page) A creative opening and attention getter A strong thesis statement that clearly articulates your major claim of the paper A clear preview statement that shows how you will organize your paper Introduction of the Artifact (about 1-2 pages) You should thoroughly introduce your artifact using who, what, where, when, and how. Please give any background information you have about it such as when did it appear, how was it delivered, what is it about, why was it made, when was it made, what was the context in which the artifact emerged – controversy, situation, audience? After this description, your reader should clearly understand it as a piece of gender communication. Definitions (about 2-3 pages) Definitions and explanations of the 4 concepts you have chosen Discussion (about 3-4 pages) A discussion that connects your chosen concepts to your example Possible questions you can answer in your analysis: Why/How do the concepts relate to your artifact? How does the artifact fit in, further, or work against other scholarly work you found? (Use peer reviewed journal articles) What were the responses to this artifact and how does that relate to the concepts/research you have found? Implications/Conclusion (about 1 page) A brief restatement of what you did in the paper. Most importantly here is the discussion of so what? Why does your analysis matter? To gender communication studies? As part of larger implications for society? Bring closure to your submission References (do not count towards your page count!) You should have a MINIMUM of six current sources (stronger papers will have more). One must be your readings or modules (you may use more but you still must meet the other source requirements as well), two can be popular press sources, and three MUST BE peer reviewed journal articles on communication. Four of your sources must come from UMUC's online library. Proper APA in-text citations should be provided in addition to a reference page/bibliography.
