Assignments – Week #13
Featured
Here is the schedule for this week:
- Post Three Ideas: Building on the brainstorming that we did on Wednesday, please come up with three paper topic ideas. These should be ideas that genuinely interest YOU. You will be most successful with this project if you settle on a topic that you feel passionately about, so you may need to do some reflection to figure out what you are naturally drawn to. Express each topic in the form of a question and post them to the blog in a new blog post. Your topics must be shared by Sunday, November 14th.
- Conferences: You will be meeting with me in writing groups on Monday, November 15th and Monday, November 22nd. These meetings will take place in our classroom. Half of you are meeting with me this week, and half are meeting with me on the 22nd. See the schedule below. Come to your conference prepared to discuss your research topic.
- Computer Session: Our class on Wednesday, November 17th will be held in a computer lab on campus. I am still waiting to hear back to find out which room they’ve assigned us. Once I find out, I will post the room here on the blog. During this class, we will be learning how to use Baruch’s Newman Library’s online resources to conduct our research. This is a session you won’t want to miss!!!
- Proposals Due:. Once you have settled on a topic, your next step will be writing a Research Proposal. This is a document in which you lay out the central question you will be exploring and then identify the sub-topics or sub-questions you’d like to look at in your research. Your proposal could look like a traditional outline, a bulleted list of ideas, or a few paragraphs describing what interests you about your topic. Please post your proposal to our shared folder by Wednesday, November 17th and give the file the name “Your Name Research Proposal.” Don’t worry if you later discover that you need to modify your proposal.
You can link to the information about the Analytical Research Paper and Presentation that I distributed in class on Wednesday HERE.

Representation-Janice chan
i choose this video as representation. I believe this shows Asian representation in the American industry. I feel like this is a very recent occurrence that didn’t happen very often in the past. Also growing up i didn’t see any Asians in movies or Hollywood and the music industry. As an Asian American i think that it feels nice to finally have a group or band represent in the American industry.
Representation – Khushpreet Singh
this music video portrays two men, black and white, having a conversation about race. It represents the issue of racism as a whole in our country. It shows the misunderstandings different races have between each other.
Yair Barrera-Representation post
I choose this image as my representation post because I believe it depicts how some people use their large platforms in order to create a positive change in the world. For the most part, people with big platforms try to use social media to promote themselves and profit from it. But in this case, this YouTuber is doing the opposite. This image is from a video about promoting cleaning the oceans and taking good care of the environment.
Representation
I feel represented with this artist because she has incorporated both cultures into her music. she fused both her American and Latino sides into Reggaeton / latin trap. for me i relate a lot to her cause i really appreciate her representing and acknowledging that there is a whole generation that is bilingual and speaks spanglish.
rachelle campos suarez ~ representation post
So for this assignment I chose to use a song written by Latino Reggaeton Artist known by the name of “Bad Bunny”. I feel super connected with this song because the vibe is just immaculate. This song makes me feel like i’m floating (no joke).
