12 point, Times New Roman, double-spaced, 1.5 – 2 pages (not including references). List your references at the end of the paper in APA format. Include the two articles above, the textbook and any other sources that you are using. In the weekly folders, resources are listed in APA format.
Read the two articles by the same author/anthropologist, Richard Lee. One is based on more quantitative date, while the other is based on an incident that occurred during his fieldwork. Take notes on what interests you about the articles, and how this relates to what we have been discussing in class. How are these two approaches to fieldwork different? How does Lee gather data and information? Does this give him a more holistic view of !Kung culture? Why? Is there any other fieldwork approach that you might suggest to him?
It might be helpful to create an outline of the paper with main points and conclusions.
Be sure to refer to, and when appropriate cite resources we have used in class. This is a good resource for learning how to properly use APA formatted citations within your text.
This is not a summary paper; I do not want a review of the article. It is an analytical paper; I want to see that you have understood how the main points relate to each other and to our course topics.
