HUM 102 Module Two Project Proposal Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
In this course, we are exploring how the humanities teach us about each other and also about ourselves. Creative works allow us to make sense of our own identities as well as the world around us. They can serve as an entry point for understanding complicated topics. For this assignment, you will choose a topic (diversity, mental health, or activism) and two creative works that you will use to compare various subject areas of the humanities in relation to your chosen topic.
This assignment builds toward Part One of the project, and you will expand on this work in Module Four as you further analyze your chosen creative works. Before working on this assignment, consult the Project Guidelines and Rubric in the Supporting Materials section below.
Directions
You will use the Project Template for this assignment and add to the same template for project drafts that you will complete in later modules. In Module Two, you will draft the first two components of Part One of your project using questions 1 and 2 of this template. In Modules Four and Five, you will complete different sections of the same template for the project drafts. Then in Module Seven, you will revise and compile your work on all sections of the template as the final project.
In this proposal, you will identify two creative works associated with your chosen topic (mental health, diversity, or activism). You will use these works and the topic throughout the term on the project drafts. The creative works must be from two different humanities subject areas listed below. These creative works can be selected from the list of works located in the Project Resources, linked in the Supporting Materials section below. Alternatively, you may choose to select two creative works that are not included in the provided list with your instructor’s approval.
You may choose from the following humanities subject areas:
- Visual art (paintings, photographs, sculpture, architecture, drawing, film)
- Performing arts (theater, dance, music, opera)
- Literature (novels, poems, scripts for plays, short stories, song lyrics)
Specifically, you must address the following:
Specify which topic you have chosen to use throughout the project and the two creative works that you have chosen that fit that topic. Use the two creative works to compare various subject areas of the humanities in relation to your chosen topic. Address the following criteria in Part One:
- Creative Works: Describe the two creative works.
- Your chosen topic (mental health, diversity, or activism)
- The names of the chosen creative works
- The subject area of the humanities they fall under (visual, literary, or performing arts)
- Understand the Topic: Describe how the chosen creative works can be used to understand the topic.
- A. How do the different humanities subject areas you have chosen (visual, literary, or performing arts) approach the topic?
What to Submit
Use the
Project Template to create your Project Proposal and submit questions 1 and 2 from Part One for grading. You must cite your chosen creative works. If other sources are used, follow APA guidelines for citations both throughout and at the end of your paper. Keep in mind that for your completed project, you will need to cite two creative works that you chose as well as at least two resources used to research your topic (mental health, diversity, or activism). This submission includes creative works and resources provided in the Project Resources.
Although Brightspace allows the addition of video notes in assignment submissions, you may not use the Video Note tool to complete this assignment.
