topics
covered in class, formulate an argument based on those readings and a
selection of articles that you find on your own, and to write out those
arguments in the form of an essay.
*Please note: This assignment
should not be treated as a ?book report.? I?m not interested in a simple
summary of the material you?ve read. What I am looking for is a
synthesis of the material that incorporates the readings from class,
current reporting on the topic, as well your own analysis of the
connections and implications for how digital media are changing the way
we live in the 21st century.
Instructions:
First, choose one of the following broad themes/topics (and accompanying authors)
that are listed in the syllabus:
ext,
do a thorough reading of the material. You should have a firm grasp of
the core arguments of the author(s), the positions they take, and why.
Then, begin looking for related articles from Mediashift, Lore.com, or
your own daily consumption of news and reporting that deals with digital
media. These articles must be from legitimate sources and substantive
in nature (look for at least one page of text; a 50 word blog posts does
not count). Pick at least five articles that you will incorporate into
your final essay.
Finally, spend some time thinking, brainstorming, making notes, thought bubbles, hieroglyphics (whatever your creative process!) on the connections (as well as contradictions) between the articles you’ve gathered and the original source material from the author(s). Once you?ve done this, formulate a strong thesis statement (core argument) about the how the articles and reporting you?ve gathered connects with, contradicts, or otherwise fits in with the source readings as well as the larger implications for society. The remainder of your paper should support your argument in a way that is clear,
logical, and structured. Brief summaries of the source
material and articles being presented will of course be part of your
paper; however, I am more interested in your own critical thought
process and analysis as you deliberate the implications of what you?ve
read and the argument you?re making.
