Were there any “eye openers” in the readings that made you think about the American migration experience and music in a different way?

Freestyle Assignment For this course, a final assignment will be to come up with your own set of songs (at least three) that demonstrate some aspect of American migration, including the psychology or sociology of migration, the emotions involved, as well as a sense and physical of origin and destination from a group or artists perspective. Students can write a four-to-six-page (4-6) paper on the music, lyrics, and migration group/topic of their choice. A combination of musical and lyrical analysis and historical context is expected. To write a formal paper on their music and their specific migration topic. It can even be personal, moving from ones own familial perspective to that of a group covering a specific period of American migration, but again, with music very much involved For students who write formal papers, you should include a heading for your name, the date and topic(s) covered. It could be more elaborate, including quotations taken from social, musical, and historical sources discovered, discussion insights, etc. These papers and presentations will be reviewed and evaluated (as noted in the Grading Information section of this Syllabus) and returned within a week following the due date. Papers must be between four and six (4-6) pages, typed in size 12-point font (double-spaced), with margins of one inch on all four edges of the paper in MS Word (.doc or .docx). Also, NO COVER PAGES. Work hard to comply with these guidelines. Quotations from other works are to be enclosed in quotation marks (if less than 40 words long) or indented five (5) spaces on the left (if longer than 40 words), and are to include a reference citation at the end in the following author-date system in the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition (preferred, though APA format is similar) such as(Kozol, 1992, 117) vs. (Kozol 1992, p. 117). Any time you draw directly on the idea of another person,paraphrasing or summarizing the idea, you are to include a reference citation at the end with the page number. Reflection: Considerable reflection in response to the readings is essential for intellectual and professional growth. Some good questions to ask yourself in addressing any question or topic might include: 1) Were there any “eye openers” in the readings that made you think about the American migration experience and music in a different way? If so, what were they and how did they change your thinking? 2) Which points in a reading or from other sources do you think are well substantiated, questionable, and just plain wrong? Why do you think so? 3) What are the implications of the readings for understanding the forces that propel and transform how we should understand the shape of the American migration experience and music? The music you can figure out on the American Migration in song “mixtape” to figure out the three more songs to analysis and the songs need to follow one American migration experience(eg. Black migration, poor white man migration from one state to another state; native Americans are forced by US government to leave their homeland)
