Describe at least one aspect of the experience that you found especially interesting.

/in /by

Write a report after you have explored or viewed the online resource.

Your report should include the following information. Include photos or links that help convey the information. As always, be sure to document all sources you consult in preparing your work. This includes any learning resources from the class, or information from the websites that informed you about the particular item you explored.

  • Name and location of the museum, site, or performance event. If there is on-line information about the site or performance, be sure to include a link to it within the text of your essay in an appropriate place.
  • Type of museum, site or event. For example is it a portrait or sculpture museum, a music concert, or dance performance? If you viewed a performance, name the performer or the piece.
  • Briefly describe the general setting by talking a bit about the location (you can research the location online) and the general overall “vibe” of the place.
  • Describe at least one aspect of the experience that you found especially interesting. For example, you might write about a particular work of art, cultural artifact, song, dance section, costumes or lighting, a particular vocalist, etc. Explain what impressed or affected you, and why. Your reaction can be positive or negative, as long as you offer an explanation.
  • Identify and use at least two tools, concepts or methods that you have learned about in this class in the Learning Resources to talk about your viewing. For example, if you do a virtual museum tour, you might point out how color works in one of the paintings, or if you view to a concert, talk about how rhythm works in one of the songs. Make sure you are explicit in identifying the tools/concept/methods you are using and the specific learning resources they come from. Make sure to inform the reader about the tool/concept/method through a quote or paraphrase from the learning resource. Then, make sure to tell the reader how you interpret and/or analyze some elements of what you experience with the tools.

Please write two [2] paragraphs using two [2] of the quotes you pulled from your research or the poem. Write a quote integration paragraph for each. As you write, remember the following:
You need to introduce each quote and include parentheticals
You need to explain the value/significance of each quote – not a summary! This should be an answer to the “So What?”/an argument supporting your opinion [think about your thesis]
While this is not a requirement, I strongly suggest including one quote from the poem and one quote from your research. This way, you will get feedback on both styles of quote integrations before you are graded on format in the final essay :)
