In your presentation’s analysis, you will use your selected pieces to demonstrate the following 5 learning outcomes (speaking for at least one minute on each learning outcome):
1) Explain how Muslims have defined and adapted their Islamic beliefs, Islamic practices, and Muslim identities as religious and ethnic/racial minorities in the U.S. in diverse ways. In other words, explain how they have negotiated and adapted their expressions and practices of Islam in relation to their specific socio-political locations in the U.S.
2) Explain how Muslims have contributed to the history, politics, and cultural forms of the U.S. (for example, through expressions and practices of Islam in relation to the Civil Rights movement, music, American slavery, etc.).
3) Explain how institutional discrimination and Islamophobia in the U.S. have impacted Muslims.
4) Explain how Muslims in the U.S. have drawn on Islamic traditions to support their claims to racial and economic justice, and how they have advocated against anti-Muslim, anti-Black, and anti-immigrant prejudice and discrimination in the U.S.
5) Explain how a life narrative featured in at least one of your selected pieces compares to your own life narrative.
Does not need read all the files I upload, just pick useful readings.
Here is the citation guidline:
Bibliography Guidance for Final Project
Whenever you are getting your information (whether it is a direct quote, or even just an idea you learned) from any source (whether it is a reading or some form of media), you need to cite where that information came from throughout the text of your written transcript. This is called an in-text citation.
The way to do an in-text citation is simple. Just place the author’s last name and the page number of the source into a set of parentheses before you end your sentence. The format is: (Author #). You only need the last name of the author. There is no punctuation needed between the author’s last name and the page number. You place the period for your sentence after your close your parentheses. If there are two authors, enter both last names separated by the word “and”; if there are more than two authors, enter the last name of the first listed author followed by “et al” (see examples below). If the author is a website or organization instead of a person, just enter the whole name of the entity. If there is no pagination in your source, you do not need to provide a page number. If you are unsure about the author or title of your source, all you have to do is look at the way I listed them in the syllabus schedule. You can trust me! Do NOT trust online bibliographic generators.
Here is an example of how your in-text citation will look:
Muslims in the United States often experience a feature of Islamophobia that treats Islam as “monolithic” and results in the perception that all Muslims are inclined to violence due the directives of the Islamic tradition (Green 12-13).
Then, after you have completed your in-text citations, you need to provide a detailed list of all the sources you referred to throughout your text. This is called the Works Cited page. You will provide this at the end of your transcript. In this list, remember to italicize the titles of all books, and indent the second line of all of your citations.
Here are examples of how to provide citations in the Works Cited page:
