Your essay should be a minimum of 500 words, using a minimum of two sources, a Bibliography (Works Cited), and in-text citations (also called an internal citation). You may use MLA, APA or Chicago; just be consistent in your usage. Remember: Whenever you use a source, you must provide an in-text citation (also called an internal citation).

Are you allowed to go over the minimum number of words and sources? You should determine the number of words and sources you need by whether you have answered the questions fully and well. You may go over the minimums, but not under.

Submit your essay to the Assignments tool, and then paste a copy into the Discussion to share with the class. Read the essays posted by your peers, and post a comment to three peers (60 words minimum each).

Introduction: In your opening paragraph, introduce the culture and topic of your field trip. Include at least one source (website or article) that you visited, using an in-text citation. Example: I am studying the cultural practice of tattooing among the Ainu (Krutak 2008).

Exploration: This is the heart of your essay! Address the following areas, to share what you learned during your field trip. Each of these should be a paragraph (3-4 sentences minimum, each). Include at least one in-text citation from at least one source. 

1. Overview of the topic. Give a general summary of information about the topic.
2. Holistic perspective. A holistic perspective takes a broad view of the historical, environmental, and cultural foundations of behavior. Describe 3-5 elements, aspects, or characteristics of the culture you chose.

Digging deeper! Use these two important anthropological fieldwork methods!

1. Participant observation. Define participant observation, according to our textbook (remember to cite the specific page in our textbook). Explain at least two things you would do as part of a cultural activity with people in that culture; this should be one of their own cultural activities  (2-3 sentences for each of these). How would taking part in this activity with members of the group help you learn more about their culture?
2. Interview. What is one question you would ask a member of that culture? Explain how that would help you learn more deeply about that culture or practice.

Ethical considerations:

Conclude with a short (3-4 sentence) discussion of one ethical issue (such as informed consent) you may encounter while conducting your participant observation or interview. Explain how you would address that as a professional anthropologist. 

Remember: Use grammar and spell-check! Include a bibliography and two in-text citations – one from a source in the field trip required materials, and one from our text readings for this module.
