Directions for the Contextual Analysis:
1) Identify a source, which can include: a meme, published article, position paper, newspaper article, news story, a book, a piece of artwork, a song, a policy, a political cartoon – any source of information that has a perspective on an issue related to the course outcomes
2) Begin the contextual analysis using these questions as a guide (you don’t have to answer all these questions, they are just for direction and consideration when analyzing your source):
a. What are the central themes, issues, or topics of the source?
b. What happened and/or what is happening? Specifically, what characteristics of the source make it relevant to the outcomes of the assignment?
c. Who are the major stakeholders or parties represented?
d. What perspective(s) on the issue or topic are present in the source?
e. Does there appear to be bias in the source?
f. When did the event take place? What other major action or event is connected?
g. Where did this take place? How is the location or jurisdiction important to your analysis?
h. Why did the event take place? What relevant background story or information must be identified in order for the read to understand the context analysis?
3) Present the analysis
a. If the learner chooses to complete a written essay, it is to be formatted according to the APA 7th Edition. The assignment will be minimum of three pages and a maximum of four pages (750 – 1000 words), double-spaced, and will include a title page. All assignments will include proper APA 7th Edition in-text sourcing and a reference list, with a minimum of three references. Your references could be from any of the material from the modules, or you can gather your own credible sources from the library, internet, journal articles, etc. All information written must show where it was sourced.
