Describe your culture and focus on a detailed specific scene or event from your fieldnotes.
Mini-paper 1: Ethnography
This 2-4page mini-paper is the first step to writing your term paper. In this short essay you will conduct and analyze fieldwork. This entails three steps: conducting fieldwork, writing fieldnotes, then analyzing your data to make claims about the culture you’ve observed. 1) spend several hours observing a cultural group to which you have access (the best way is to be a member of the group); 2) take detailed notes describing everything you observe; 3) use critical tools for ethnographic inquiry (analyze performances, language, rituals, symbols, hierarchies, expressions, etc.)

EACH HEADING SHOULD BE PRESENT IN YOUR PAPER

2) Describe your culture and focus on a detailed specific scene or event from your fieldnotes. Assume your reader doesn’t know anything about it, so spend a paragraph just describing the group you are analyzing and a specific incident or interaction. Give the reader sensorial details that help your reader ‘picture’ the culture. Consider evoking multiple senses (smell, touch, taste, sight, sound). [1-2 paragraph]
3) Analyze cultural performances (uses of language, ritual, etc.). Be sure to provide evidence and examples from the your fieldnotes to support your argument. [the bulk of your paper is here about a page]
4) Incorporate at least one concept from the reading (culture, performance of identity, the body, etc.—any concept, you choose!). Define and apply the concept to your critical reading of the text. Cite the reading using MLA format. [2 paras]

Write a cause and effect essay on bullying. Here is the start of one done by my daughter it just needs to be elaborated. This is also a sample of her writing. No need for big words since this is a middle school essay.
There are many causes of bullying but in my belief the 3 main reasons are that they want attention, they are jealous, or want revenge. Kids might not get enough attention at home so they will do anything to get the attention they want which leads to bullying. Another reason which i think is the biggest is jealously. Bullies get jealous of certain people and want to be better than that kid. The bully would try to make that person miserable and try to make them bad at everything so the bully can be better than that person. The last reason is that the bully wants revenge. The victim could have done something mean to the bully which caused them to start bullying. The bully could want to show the person how it feels getting hurt.
There are many effects of bullying like low-self of steam, depression, or suicidal thoughts or attempts. The first effect is that they can have a low-self of steam. Having that problem can make even more problems like social problems and many others.The second effect that can happen is depression. Depression is a horrible sadness that makes you feel trap. Depression can make you feel worthless which leads to many other things. The worse effect is suicidal thoughts or attempts. i believe this is the worse because bullying is a tempturay problem when killing your self last forever.

Analyze a print advertisement to determine what strategies are involved in selling the product.
Choose a recent advertisement for any product from a current magazine, newspaper, or the Internet, and examine it carefully to see how and why it appeals to its target audience. Consider what lifestyle choices are being presented along with the product or service being offered. Deconstruct the persuasive techniques. Then, form your own analysis of how that advertisement achieves its manipulations of a particular audience, and support your evaluation of it.
Focus:
• Formulating an original thesis
• Describing a message to make analysis meaningful to one’s audience.
• Using analysis of a primary source to produce thoughtful and interesting content.
• Interpreting and explaining the persuasive power of a message.
• Supporting controlling ideas with sufficient detail from a primary source.
• Using a secondary source as a tool for analysis.
• Demonstrating an ability to analyze.
• Addressing an audience.
• Expressing ideas clearly and coherently.
• Revising based on teacher/peer comment and self-evaluation.
Points to Consider:
• Where was this advertisement found? Who is the audience for the ad? What are the underlying assumptions of the advertisement?
• How does the advertisement that you have selected achieve its purpose? What is the main message? Is the appeal directed at a particular age group?
• Why is it visually compelling or attractive? Is there a photograph, photomontage, illustration or cartoon? Has a celebrity been used in this particular campaign? If so, do you think the use of the celebrity endorsement will be successful in encouraging the target consumer to buy the product? Why? Why not?
• Is the language of the text memorable? Are there any linguistic features such as puns, rhyme or alliteration? Are there any metaphors or is there a joke? Is the language arresting, using ploys like sex, humour, fantasy, surrealism or fear to capture the observer’s attention?
• Is the layout done in a particular way? Look at font size and colour, underlining, bold type and background. Where is the key message located in relation to the illustration?
• What is particular about the language use? Does it seem fair and reasonable for the product concerned? Is there a logo, a brand name, a motto, a web address or other information? What overall effect does this give?
• Does the advertisement perpetuate any stereotypes? How? Does it define beauty (either masculine or feminine)? Does it encourage unhealthy habits? Does it magnify or exaggerate the importance of
material possessions?
Steps in the Process:
1. Discuss your advertisement with a peer in class and brainstorm ideas about the advertiser’s persuasive strategies and assumptions about the target audience.. Read this assignment sheet again and make sure that you understand the task, purpose and audience.
2. Prepare a short oral presentation about the features of this advertisement and your response to it. Share your analysis with your group in class.
3. Write your first draft.
4. Re-draft carefully, taking into account the advice given and comments made. Proofread carefully before resubmitting.
