Week Three Assignment
Use your week one case write up to analyze the case using the Political and Symbolic frames. The organization of this analysis is flexible but a few criteria to keep in mind include.
- Papers are to be between 4–5pages, use APA format, and include a brief abstract of the original case to help remind the reader.
- Begin with a thesis statement (assertion) about the case based on your analysis this week and identify for the reader how you will go through a supportive discussion of that assertion.
- The the analysis must be packed with the application of course readings AND utilize data from the case study itself. Be sure to use good citations and referencing. Balance the application of multiple frames covered in a particular week.
- Tell the reader how the frame helps you understand something new about the case. Is there a way in which the frame is not helpful?
- What central inquiry questions are you now left with as a result of the analysis?
