Your assignment is to submit a 2-4 minute short “podcast” (audio or video recording) on a musical recording of historical and political relevance to a specific race, ethnicity, or cultural group of color.
Step 1: Choose A Topic:
Your Topic should be a specific song and/or audio recording relating to the topics of race and resistance (example: Childish Gambino’s “This Is America”). Please choose a song *different* from your selection for the Reflection Paper.
Step 2: Submit Your Podcast:
Your project should include the following:
Introduction to Recording (:30-1 mins)
• Identify the recording (name the song, its performer, the year it was recorded, etc.)
Short Description of Work (1-2 mins)
• To which race, ethnicity, or cultural group of color does this recording apply? (Example: “[The topic I chose] was written to reflect the experiences of African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s.”) Please explain.
• What makes this recording politically or socially relevant? Please offer some historical context. (Example: if your topic relates to the Civil Rights Movement, talk a bit about what that is and how your song addresses it.)
Personal Impressions (1-2 mins)
• What personal value do you see in this musical work? What parts do you like or dislike?
• Does this recording relate to your personal background? If so, how?
*If it helps to explain your ideas, please provide analysis of the song’s lyrics, musical content, or music video.
Works Cited
• If you directly quote a source, you must submit a separate PDF or text document listing that source. You do not need to use MLA format – a link or short description of the source is fine.
• If you do not directly quote any sources, you do not need to include a Works Cited page.
Introduction to Recording: 10 points
Short Description of Work: 20 points
Personal Impressions: 5 points
