Assignment 2: Project Paper
Due Week 7 and worth 200 points
The Project Paper focuses on a suggested topic related to art, history, or
literature, with important examples and themes that still resonate today
for one’s professional or personal life. The project will reflect your
views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you
stretch your mind and your abilities to be the creative, innovative, and
critical thinker you already are!
Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the
topic carefully. Write a three (3) page paper (825 words) that responds to
each of the items described in the topic. (Exception is the video
presentation of the first topic below which is a different communication
form).
For the topic you choose:
1. Support your ideas with specific, illustrative examples. If there are
questions or points associated with your chosen topic, be sure to answer
all of the listed questions and address all of the items in that topic. If
your topic asks you to do several things related to the topic, be sure to
do each of the things listed.
2. The listed topics each have a certain presentation format or writing
genre with it (video, essay, poem, etc), and each topic involves looking at
a distinct form of presentation (oral speech, novel, visual art, poetry,
etc. And each topic involves some sort of challenge or theme that is
relevant to modern work and life. Be creative and admire the creativity of
others.
3. Follow the instructions below for what sources to use and what
formatting to use in layout and referencing. Avoid sources that are not
good academic quality for college writing (*Wikipedia* is one example).
Do NOT use any source that provides or sells college essays.
Note:

Harlem Renaissance and one work by each author. Write an essay that:

2. Summarize the main ideas from one work by each author, using 8-10
sentences for each summary (two paragraphs total).
