Assignment: The assignment for your paper is to write a book report on the ethnography, Tobacco Town Futures, by Ann Kingsolver. Your paper should be structured in the manner outlined below. If you believe Dr. Kingsolver has not addressed one of the areas listed, you need to state that explicitly.

I. Introduction: a clear statement of the central theme, focus, issue, or problem the ethnographer investigated.

II. Methods: describe the methods the ethnographer used to collect data (e.g., interview, participant- observation) and the techniques (e.g., statistical, case study) used to analyze the data.:

III. Body of paper (about two-thirds of the report):

• Provide a chapter-by-chapter survey of the contents of the ethnography and evaluate how well it supports the stated goal(s) of the ethnography.

• Discuss important issues of the ethnography and attempt to relate them (whenever possible) to what you have learned from the lectures, videos, or assigned texts and web readings.

IV. Discussion and Conclusion:

• What is the theoretical perspective of the ethnographer and how does it color her analysis of the data?

• Is the ethnographer convincing? Meaning, are the methods and data adequate for dealing with the research problems?

• Does the author attempt to generalize the findings through use of the comparative method?

• How did the ethnography help you understand more deeply something about your own culture?

• How did the ethnography reinforce or undermine any of your assumptions about human behavior?

Requirements: Your paper should be well-structured and present a well-supported argument. What does that look like? An introductory paragraph, well-formed paragraphs of substance which collect your thoughts into general groups, transition sentences between different thoughts and arguments, and a conclusion which summarizes the paper. These questions require thought and research; none of these are easy, one-sentence answers. Think outside your own perspective and remember some of tools you have learned for understanding other groups and cultures. If you use a particular method or concept to explain your responses, use that new terminology in your paper. Proofread your paper, check your grammar and spelling, and use appropriate punctuation.

Please refer to the rubric pictures attached below for the characteristics of what makes an excellent paper.
