Based on the prompt below, you have various “adventures” you can choose as your response. Grading is based on how well you follow instructions and the depth of your analysis. The key term here is analysis. DO NOT write a summary and/or write in broad and generalized terms. NOTE: I gave everyone a “pass” for the first activity and gave you the full points if you had simply finished the assignment. However, for this round, you HAVE TO follow the instructions! Generic, generalized, and/or incomplete analyses will NOT receive full points! If you have any questions, please email me. Prompt: Pick a passage from Oroonoko, Gulliver’s Travels Book 4, OR the Equiano excerpt and analyze how it addresses ONE (or more) of the following: How does the passage you have chosen reflect on the notion of the supremacy of one set of people over another? Which text addresses the (possibly implied) notions of supremacy in an equitable way? What I mean is which text is more “realistic” in its depiction of supremacy? In what way does the passage you picked inform your understanding of (and perhaps appreciation for) similar challenges we face today? Remember that the passage you pick does not count towards the word-count requirements for the assignment! You DO NOT have to copy/paste and/or type the passage in your response. Just make sure you give me enough information so I know which passage you have chosen (page number, the first few words from the beginning of the passage, etc.) You can choose to respond in any of the following formats**: As a discussion post entry. If you choose this option, you need a minimum of 250 words to allow for the analysis. As a video, a minimum of two (2) minutes and a maximum of five (5) minutes. As a meme. The meme will have to include an analysis of a minimum 250 words. I know that explaining a meme defeats its purpose, but in this case, it is necessary for me to see why you created the meme and how it relates to your analysis. As a podcast. You can structure this as a “live” interview (which would require participation from a counterpart), a “news reporting” format, or simply a spoken analysis. Podcasts should be a minimum of two (2) minutes and a maximum of five (5) minutes. As graphic art. This can be a drawing, a comic strip, or any other graphic representation. Like the meme, this also needs to include an analysis of a minimum 250 words. Once again, you have to showcase how and why you have chosen this representation. **IMPORTANT GUIDELINES: NO text, DM, letter and/or email options this time! The prompt does not lend itself to that type of response. Make sure you are using professional and appropriate language. Your writing style can be informal, but the content cannot be offensive. If your responses potentially include triggering material, make sure you include a trigger warning. Remember that this assignment is designed as a discussion post so everyone will be able to see your response. To that end, and based on the code of conduct I have stated in the course syllabus, your response has to meet professional and appropriate standards.
