Select an advertisement, news video, or music video. Write an approximately three page, double-spaced analysis of the artifact using discourse sociological concepts identified in the class.
Provide a brief, denotative description of what the artifact is about.
Begin the analysis by identifying the strategies used– for example, describe the scene in the news video that illustrates social class differences. Try to give two scenes or examples to illustrate each concept
Follow the instructions in B2 for at least two more concepts from the sociological analysis chapter.
Discuss the implications for readers/viewers and return to two questions from Masterman: What intention or goal of the creator is being fulfilled by this artifact?: who’s interests are being served? Why?: and what effect would this have on society if we bought into the message offered?
C. Conclusion: State how your analysis provides new insight about the media subject:
Remind the audience why the media is important (as stated in your introduction).
Review your points
Finally, explain how your analysis provides new insight, reveals assumptions, or unintended meanings represented by the selected articles.

Question Description: (GerMeka)
W3: Fallacies to Persuade and Possibly Manipulate
Goal: Observe how logical fallacies are used to persuade and at times, manipulate.
Course Objectives: CO2
Description:
Advertisements exist to sell you a product. It might be soap, music, political positions, or ideas. Most advertisements use a variety of logical fallacies to persuade but some use them to subtlety or overtly manipulate the intended audience.
Find an ad. You don’t have to repeat the entire ad, only enough to familiarize us with it…
(1) name the fallacy it commits
(2) define the fallacy and
(3) explain in detail how this ad is an example of this fallacy.
Perform the given exercise to understand it better.
Example:
The appeal to ignorance is a fallacy based on the assumption that a statement must be true if it cannot be proven false — or false if it cannot be proven true.
An ad claims that “Nobody has ever proved to me that Shrest Whitening Strips are harmful” which erroneously implies that you know they aren’t.
– Review the list of logical fallacies in your content and study the ads presented.
– Select at least two (2) ads that you feel represent two (2) different logical fallacies.
– Determine how the language and images of the ads appeal to the consumer; identify the kinds of fallacies being used; and describe what needs or insecurities the ads are trying to reach.

White Papers Question
The final product for this course will be a final paper completed individually for 30 points total towards your final grade. Students will choose one of two final paper options.
Option 1:Gender analysis of media content
You will write a 5-7 page paper analyzing a piece of media of your choice. This can include a TV show, book series, podcast, video game, movie, comic book, or anything you can identify as media content. Thoroughly describe relevant components of the media piece before/as you analyze (you do not have to describe in detail the entire thing, only what is relevant to your paper/the course concepts).
Does this content succeed/fail to represent an intersectional understanding of identity? Why or why not?
Are there any examples of gendered institutions within the media piece? If so, describe and explain the institution and how it is gendered.
Paper requirements: 5 key concepts from the course must be used throughout your paper with citations. You should use 12-point size normal font (Times New Roman, Calibri, Arial, etc.), double spacing, and APA formatting including references.
Option 2: Prompt response
You will write a 5-7 page paper responding to 3 prompts of your choice. Answer all of the questions in the prompt for full credit.
Required:
Prompt 1: How does our understanding of sexualities connect to the way that we “do” gender (in other words, how are gender and sexualities connected)? Explain heteronormativity. How does heteronormativity drive dominant U.S. culture? What are the impacts of this? How have groups resisted discrimination based on sexualities?
Optional (choose 2):
Prompt 2: What is your definition of gender? How does this compare to the book’s definition? How is U.S. culture gendered? How has the way that we understand gender changed throughout time? Propose an example sociological study using an intersectional understanding of gender (propose a theoretical background, general methods that might be appropriate, and research hypotheses).
Prompt 3: Reflect on your overall experience in the course. What was your perspective of sex, gender, & sexualities before taking this course? Have these perspectives changed? If so, how? How is your daily life gendered? Provide an example of an experience in your classes this semester (it does not have to be in this class) that relates to concepts from this course.
Prompt 4: Do you think it is possible to take gender out of the way that we organize society? Imagine a world that does not organize around gender. What would this world look like? What might be some prominent features of today’s society that would change? Would the gender binary still exist? What would be the effects of this new social organization?
Prompt 5: Choose one of the weeks 11/12/13 topics (work, family, or politics). Summarize how the topic can be analyzed as a social institution. Explain how the topic is gendered (you can use examples from the book, lecture, or outside sources). Then, provide a suggestion for social change within the institution (what steps need to be taken to create more gender equity within work/family/politics?).
Paper requirements: 5 key concepts from the course must be used throughout your paper with citations. Identify which prompt you are responding to at the beginning of each response (example: Prompt 2). You should use 12-point size normal font (Times New Roman, Calibri, Arial, etc.), double spacing, and APA formatting including references.
Requirements: 5-7 pages

create two class activities. The activities can be for any grade level and for any content area. One activity must have a summative assessment example. The other activity must be a formative assessment. For each activity, write a detailed summary/description of the activity. Include the grade level, content area, and type of assessment. Include the rationale for using this type of assessment for the activity. Include the goals of the activity and what students should be able to master after successful completion of the activity.
Next, create a rubric to accompany each activity. Each rubric should have a minimum of three criteria associated with a numeric score. Each criterion must contain a detailed description. Write your own descriptions. DO NOT use a rubric wizard/ generator/ tool to create the rubric.
With each activity, submit a minimum 400-word summary of the activity. Additionally cite two scholarly sources in APA 7th ed.
Requirements: 1 page for class activities, 1 page per each rubic, and 1.5 page for summary of the activity. Total of 3.5 pages.
