Paper Format and Length Each paper should be a maximum of 300 words (not including your name, date, etc. at the top of the page) Double-space your paper. Use 11 or 12-point font only. Use standard, 1-inch margins. Selecting a Topic Students must select an article from a periodical, such as a newspaper, magazine, or reputable online resource, that was published sometime after January 2020 and is relevant to the course materials. Your article must discuss activities/discoveries/excavations at a specific archaeological site. I will give specific topic criteria for a current event assignment the week before it is due, so be sure to check Canvas for updates. Try to locate a substantial article or news story, not just a brief headline-grabber from Yahoo News (for example).   If you find a topic that intrigues you, read more about it!  Using two articles on the same topic can help, as well, though you need only include one with your paper. Unacceptable Topics: -articles that are simply informational and do not include a recent excavation or discovery -articles that do not conform to the stated range of topics -articles about dinosaurs or early hominin evolution -any other topics stated as being unacceptable in a particular assignment’s guidelines Content of the Paper Each paper must include the following information: –        a functioning link to the article at the top of the page –        Name and date of publication, and author of the article. State at the beginning of your paper. You do not need to make a bibliographic entry; simply include this information in your first paragraph. –        Name and location of the archaeological site in question –        What is happening at the site? Active excavation? Was it just discovered? How? –        Who is excavating/leading the project (if stated—it usually is)? –        Discussion of how this is relevant to the culture responsible for the site OR what is the potential relevance? –        Discussion of the topic’s relevance to this course, including use of relevant terms –        Brief summary of the article(s) –        Your opinion about the issue discussed in the article –        Exactly how and why is this current event relevant to the course? –        Bring in specific terms and ideas from course materials to explain its relevance.   For your current event paper this week, please choose one of these topics:  – Peopling of the Americas (North or South) – Finds from the Upper Paleolithic

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, review this week’s readings, guidance, and announcements. Reflect on what you found interesting, surprising, or confusing. This discussion forum is an opportunity for you to explore topics that interest you, share critical insights and questions that you are working with, share your struggles and triumphs, and discuss difficulties that may have arisen this week. Your initial post should describe your experiences in the course this past week, prompting further discussion. Address at least two of the following questions: Was there anything that caused you to view the world around you differently or examine a topic from a different perspective? What struck you in particular as you explored the course materials this week? Do you have questions that your classmates might be able to help you with? (If you have a question for the instructor, be sure to contact your instructor via email). Part of having the growth mindset, which we talked about in the Post Your Introduction forum, is to learn from the feedback and critiques you get from your instructor and classmates. Review your feedback on the Women in Science and Demographic Mapping Discussion in Week 3. How will you incorporate your instructor’s comments on this week’s discussion? (If you have a specific question about your feedback, be sure to contact your instructor via email).
