World Music Ethnography Part I and II Complete

World Music Ethnography Part I and Part II Complete SUBMIT TYPED DOUBLE-SPACED HARD COPY MOST IMPORTANT: MAINTAIN "SCHOLARLY VOICE" Remember, Part II (like Part I) is a DESCRIPTIVE FIVE-PARAGRAPH (MINIMUM) ESSAY WITH SUBHEADINGS ABOUT YOUR CHOSEN MUSICAL PHENOMENON -- NOT an "advertisement" for either the music or the people who make the music NOT a description of your feelings, your attitudes, your opinions or MUSC 8. NOT analytical, argumentative or persuasive (Types of Papers) To establish your "scholarly voice," try using ONLY the third person pronouns "he," "she," "it" and "they." Use proper names/nouns such as the name of a band or performer as needed. Please type your ethnography in a 12 point clearly legible font such as Times, Courier, Geneva, or Arial throughout including your title page. Please double space throughout including body text and references. Bold, italics, and underlines are acceptable where appropriate. Build on your World Music Ethnography Part I First Draft that you created in EthnoPages.doc or EthnoPages.rtf: Revise your Part I "first draft" as needed. Be sure to include parenthetical references in your body text for each in-text quote, block quote, and paraphrase. Write and add your Part II (see below). Move your Works Cited (preferably without annotations) to the end of your paper. Add a title page. Your paper MUST conclude with a "Works Cited" or "References" section in MLA style. NoodleBib and MLA style sheets can be accessed online at http://www.santarosa.edu/library/guides/cite.shtml. Please combine Part I and Part II and submit your final paper in this format: title page (no page number) body text (double-spaced, begin page numbers, ) Works Cited (double-spaced, MLA style, final page, last page number) MLA style tips: Underlined text is easier to recognize than italicized text in your body text and references. URLs should be contained within 〈angle brackets〉 and should not be underlined, blue, or grey (see "Plagued" below). Part II Introduction (paragraph #1) Choose three of these suggested subheadings or create your own (paragraph #2, #3, #4): first impressions: metaphor/simile venue/setting/environment audience/participant/performer behaviors music acquisition: teaching/learning, socialization oral/aural vs. written transmission e.g. (for example) mass media or apprenticeship professional/amateur costumes/uniforms movement/dance solo vs. ensemble organizational structure e.g. conductor/leader or egalitarian classical, folk, popular improvisation use vs. function religious/spiritual language/jargon: between performers, among audience aesthetics: acceptable/unacceptable performance according to "insiders" musical characteristics timbre, pitch, rhythm, dynamics, form (e.g. call/response, verse/chorus), medium, phonic structure (e.g. monophony, heterophony, homophony) Conclusion (paragraph #5) For your Part II Introduction, acquaint your reader with four of the "Five Ws" - the Who, What, Where, and When of your live musical phenomenon. Then present a "thick description" that addresses some of the subheadings suggested for Part II. Write a Conclusion that summarizes important points you discussed in your ethnography. Plagued by that pesky "default" in Microsoft Word that automatically changes Internet addresses to blue underlined hyperlinks? Here are some "fixes": 1. Select the hyperlink-formatted text. In the Formatting Palette or under the Format drop-down menu find "Normal" or "Clear Formatting" and then "apply" to the "Hyperlink" text. 2. In the Tools drop-down menu select "AutoCorrect." In the AutoCorrect dialogue box select the "AutoFormat As You Type" tab. Then uncheck "Internet paths with hyperlinks." Repeat the process for the "AutoFormat" tab. 3. If you're running Windows, right click the hyperlink and select "clear formatting." Here are some sample papers from George Ruckert's Intro to World Music course at MIT. Here is my explanation of the ethnography project in Week 4 of our course. http://www.openoffice.org/ and http://www.libreoffice.org/features/ offer free software that you can use to open and create Microsoft Word and PowerPoint files.
