Write a research essay of about 900 to 1200 words relating to urban legends (contemporary folklore). You will be required to use 3-5 sources (2-5 primary, 1-2 scholarly articles, and 0-2 secondary or non-scholarly sources) and 1 image.
Your essay will need to be thesis driven and focus primarily on research backing up your thesis. The essay will also need to have strong essay attributes, including, but not limited to, a clear audience, tone, voice, organization, and rhetorical strategy. Basically, you will be forming a unique, specific, and professional paper supporting your idea on urban legends.
The topics available for this assignment are fairly open, but I will be checking to make sure each thesis is suitable for the assignment. A few topic starters include, but are not limited to:
-The effects of technology on oral and/or written culture.
-The relationship of gender to contemporary folklore.
-The relationships and evolution of older folklore and urban folklore.
-The themes, motifs, symbols, and metaphors of contemporary folklore and their connection to their parent cultures.
-The interconnection of urban legends through worldwide cultures.
-The development of cultural traditions (folk music, foods, holidays, traditions, etc. through immigration.
-The development of cultural traditions from technology.
