Ethnographic Project

Intro to Cultural Anthropology

Ethnographic Presentation

 

Students are required to prepare an presentation using any Presentation software or program with which you feel comfortable working (e.g. Powerpoint, Keynote, Prezi, etc), on a specific culture and cultural topic. 

The project must be submitted NO LATER than Sunday, May 15. NO LATE PROJECTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.  Also, your work should be your own.  Evidence of plagiarism, which includes failure to provide citations, will not be tolerated.  

• Geographic distribution
• Economics/mode of livelihood of the culture group
• Demographics
• Religious and/or belief systems represented
• Expressive Culture
• Language (s) spoken
• After presenting a general cultural overview, you should chose one aspect of the culture group to discuss and analyze in more detail. Topics will vary, and you should use your textbook, discussion, and lecture/discussions as your guide. 

A brief paragraph description of the proposed culture group/topic should be submitted via the relevant link by NO LATER than Sunday, April 17 (earlier submissions are encouraged).  

Students are expected to consult at least 4 primary or secondary academic sources when preparing their presentation (your text books do not count as legitimate sources for this assignment).  If you need help locating reliable sources, consult the SRJC library webpages.  Please note, electronic resources are fine to use.  However, they should represent electronic versions of academic journals and/or periodicals.  If in doubt about the reliability of an on-line source, consult with your instructor.  The bibliography should be included on the last page of your presentation.  Citation style should follow APA or MLA format, just be consistent with whichever you chose..
