Assignment Question
PROJECT GUIDELINES
The topic you will be exploring is this question: How has the diffusion of Sapporo occurred in America? There is also a presentation I have already created its only pictures but it tells the story of how/when Sapporo first got to America, who brought it over and then how it spread through America and became so popular in the many restaurants around America and specifically in Tucson as the presentation shows. The essay you are writing is essentially the presentation explained. Then of course just make sure to follow/include each guideline below. It is crucial that the essay relates to the presentation which is attached in the files. This is your opportunity to select a topic of interest to you and to explore it in depth.The general guidelines for the selection of your topic are that · it should be relevant to the themes and incorporate concepts that we have covered · it should be focused and connected to place(s) and/or the processes connecting places; · it can not replicate what we have covered in class, although you are welcome to choose to engage more deeply with any of the topics we have discussed or explore how these processes play out in other places. You do NOT need to focus on beer – you can select another beverage (e.g., climate change and tea, the globalization of vodka, etc.) or choose to explore another theme we have focused on (e.g., the role of food trucks in gentrification). You should go beyond replicating the beverage portfolios (in other words, if you explore a beverage, you should have a theme).
NO PROJECTS ON COFFEE. · At the top, provide a one-sentence summary of your proposed topic. Put this statement in bold and underline any key terms (including the place(s) you intend to focus on). · Next, provide a statement of why this is of interest to you. · Write a two to three paragraph overview of the question you’re exploring. Include an explanation of how this fits into the course. · What, if anything, do you hope to find out? · Provide a list of at least 4-6 preliminary sources. At least two of these must be scholarly sources, but these may include archives and data banks as well as popular sources and websites. For each source, write a sentence or two explaining why you selected it. · Briefly (a sentence is enough) explain how you intend to present this project – options include but are not limited to a traditional academic paper (1500-1800 words – 6-8 pages), a website, an art project or presentation, a screenplay ….. If you are doing anything other than a traditional academic paper, you will be asked to write a short accompanying essay explaining how your project represents the information you gathered and analyzed. 1500-1800 words if in essay format (not including citations, etc.) at least 3 scholarly sources, at least 6 total sources APA, Chicago, or MLA format, include in-text citations and footnotes and complete bibliography be sure to proofread, focus your question and provide support for your analysis and arguments, and tie into the course; use images and maps as appropriate; data tables are often a useful complement to the text
