- Use theoretical lenses learned in class to guide and frame your analysis. You have to show that you can cite and use theories- and that you understand them.
- Use and cite specific, credible sources to specifically support how the songs convey meanings that you are specifically claiming them to mean. Examples of credible sources include books, songs, lyrics, textbooks, journals, music press, websites [never Wikipedia].

- Articulate a deeper individual understanding and appreciation of contemporary musics in connection to their musical elements, identity, and broader cultural perspectives.
- Select from, evaluate, and apply a range of critical lenses and resources across disciplines and formats to inform this individual understanding.
- Advancing ideas and arguments effectively and persuasively. Claims are well-constructed: grounded in solid reasoning, indicative of considering multiple sides of an issue, supported with evidence, and communicated effectively through academic writing.
To do this, you will complete and submit an original (created solely by you), 6 page paper that will synthesize your new understandings with an in-depth analysis of the music(s) of your choice*.

These identities are ways that people distinguish themselves from their families and/or broader society, and also establish common identity with reference groups, like: friends, people of like gender identity, people of the same age group, people with similar tastes/styles.

Melody
