Structure the essay as follows:
1. Introduction: In your opening paragraph, introduce the site of your field trip which is the San xavier mission. Give a general summary of information about the topic. Include the date(s) you visited and whether you visited in person or virtually. If virtually, provide the URL of the site you visited.
2. Exploration: This is the heart of your essay! Share what you learned during your field trip. Include a couple of in-text citations from a few sources.
Use a holistic perspective. A holistic perspective takes a broad view of the historical, environmental, and cultural foundations of behavior. Choose any of these, since this is a short essay, and describe the historical, environmental, or cultural foundations of this site.
3. Digging deeper! Use these important anthropological fieldwork methods!
Participant observation. Define participant observation, according to our textbook (remember to cite the specific page in our textbook.It is the 2nd edition of Perspectives: An Open Invitation to Cultural Anthropology ). Explain a couple of things you did (or would do) as part of a cultural activity with people at this site or event; this should be one of their own cultural activities (couple of sentences for each of these). How would taking part in this activity with members of the group help you learn more about their culture?
Interview. What is one question you would ask a person at that site? Explain how that would help you learn more deeply about that culture or practice.
4. Ethical considerations:
Conclude with a short (few sentence) discussion of one ethical issue (such as informed consent) you may encounter as a field researcher while conducting your participant observation or interview. Explain how you would address that as a professional anthropologist.
5. Bibliography (and Internal Citations)
Include a bibliography at the end of the essay and a few internal (in-text) citations.
