HU250-5: Relate forms of cultural expression to your life.
GEL-5.02: Analyze the impact of human expression in the areas of literature, art, culture, music, or film.
For this assessment, you will examine the ways that cultural expressions influence your daily life. You are welcome to use images in this assessment, but the written content needs to be at least 750 words.
Share three items of cultural expression that influence your life. You may want to write about recipes, art, music, sports, films, photography, religious traditions, or narratives about your family history. You are welcome to go beyond this list. These three cultural expressions should communicate something about your beliefs, customs, and way of life.
This assessment has four parts.

Part I:
Give an introduction to the paper. Include a preview of your main points and a thesis that establishes what you will demonstrate in the paper. As the final sentence of the introduction, offer the reader the main idea of what will be learned through the exploration of these cultural expressions.
Part II:
Introduce the expressions one at a time. Tell the reader about the item. You may want to explain the “who, what, where, when and why” about this item. For example, what is it? Where did it come from and when? Who has decided to keep it? Why is it worth keeping?
Part III:
After you have introduced and explained all of the expressions, consider the three expressions as a group and answer these questions.
How do these cultural expressions help define who you are, what you believe, or how you act?
If someone saw only this list of cultural expressions, what might they conclude about you? What might be an incorrect assumption that someone could make? What do you think might be accurate?
Part IV:
Wrap up the assessment essay with a substantive conclusion that reviews the main points and explains how they help to prove the thesis statement.
