1. Media Watch (Individual Assignment)
For this assignment, students will be required to analyze a media topic addressing any one of the topics covered in the 7 modules for this course. Students should be prepared to discuss why they chose the article and how it relates to the week’s topic. Media topics can be taken from newspaper articles, social media outlets, blogs, research, ex-cetera. It is not required that the media topic be scholarly. The purpose of this assignment is to create discussion using a critical eye toward how Canadian Indigenous people are portrayed in the media, providing a critical analysis that includes information about Canada’s colonial history. The analysis should include scholarly work to support their opinion, how Canada’s colonial history impacted the topic, and the critical questions for discussion. Scholarly work is considered original research, government reports or fact sheets, and organizations identifying statistics or research on the topic (example: Canadian Diabetes Association). The total length of the submission should be one to one and half pages (double spaced). Articles must follow APA guidelines for referencing; bring in relevant content from the week’s topic, and current research to support opinions (one to two scholarly references). To summarize, you are asked to pull a topic from the media that pertains to the week’s module focus and apply scholarly work to support your analysis of the topic.
