Humanities Homework Help

This is a summary of an article. Each summary should be at least 400 words and include how the source relates to the topic thesis/learning goals.

Our thesis is the effect of influencers. Learning goals: Feeding into capitalism and positive effects from influencers.

Some feedback from professor for other sections: (Do not need to finish section A-C, but can use them as a reference.)

Your topic and thesis statement should pretty much be the same thing; the topic is the effect of influencers. Your thesis, then should be exactly what you are going to explore. What you have below for topic/thesis goes in a couple of directions- affecting everyday decisions and indicating what is popular, and the different backgrounds of the influencers (affecting pop culture in a unique way is a little bit vague). Don’t forget to tell us why this is important, how this ties into any of the course learning outcomes, and how you can focus for a 12-minute presentation.

Section B- there are a lot of ideas in these two statements- diversity of influencers, models of marketing, and positive effect; feeding into capitalism, narcissism. While you can certainly talk about both the positive and negative aspects of influencers, make sure that you have a good focus. I think that once you have narrowed your thesis statement, the two learning goals will also become narrowed (or you could go the other direction and narrow your learning goals first, and then get a focused thesis from them).

Section C- How will you set up your video and convey the information to the class? A few ideas might be a plain voiceover with illustrating video; film yourselves doing examples of influencer videos; interview or survey people/set up a watching panel to see how they react to them.
