See end of this syllabus for notes on paper mechanics. Attend a live performance of any kind, and analyze the social context using course material.

A “performance” simply means that there is an audience with their attention simultaneously focused on the same set of people. Some ideas for performances: concerts, lectures, stand-up comedians, political rallies, lessons, sport events, etc.

Be sure to identify relevant messages, meanings, consequences, effects, and to analyze the setting as a social scientist – what was going on that the participants may not have noticed or understood?

The paper should be 6-8 pages long, in APA format. The paper is worth 30% of your grade,; late papers will not be accepted.

Use your time to think about and write about contexts, rather than editing furiously to make sure you meet all of these mechanical guidelines.
