Assignment context:

Over the next few weeks we will be gearing up for a mini-research assignment called a case study. The goal of the assignment will be to identify an issue in the media and to do a little bit of research to see if you can find that issue in a media example. For instance, if you do a case study on the representation of a specific racial group, you will be looking at a media example (eg. an episode of a show, a movie, or a video game) to see if the issue is present in that media text. Therefore, it will help you to have already read about the history of the medium that the media text is a part of.

So, if you decide you are looking at the representation of the Latinx community in “Fallout: New Vegas” then you should do your historical report on video games. If, instead, you want to look at the same group representation in an episode of “Ugly Betty” then you should do your historical report on sit-coms. (If you have questions about the details of your specific assignment, don’t hesitate to email me.)

Historical Report:

Use the library to find 3-5 sources that go into the history of the media you have selected to study.

  • You will need to find more than five (5) sources and then pare down to 3-5 after you’ve skimmed them and picked the best ones. I suggest starting with 7-10 sources.
  • As you read through the sources, take notes on things you find interesting or relevant to your historical report. Feel free to use quotes!
  • Create a reference list using APA style (Links to an external site.) and make sure you cite your sources (Links to an external site.) in your report also using APA style.
  • Write a 3-5 page historical report. Your report should have an introduction, 3-5 paragraphs about the history of the medium, and a conclusion. Dividing the body of your paper into sections is encouraged.
  • You may use Media & Culture in addition to your 3-5 sources but you must have 3-5 new sources that you found on your own.
  • The references page is not included in the 3-5 page minimum requirement.
  • Your paper should be formatted using APA style (Links to an external site.) (12-point font, Times New Roman, double spaced, 1″ margins, Last Name and page # in header, etc).
