Disc. 2: Disney film language and culture analysisNo unread replies.No replies.Goal: In this discussion post you will describe and analyze how language is used to stereotype certain kinds of people in feature-length animated films. You can model your post on Lippi-Green’s “Teaching Children How to Discriminate,” but you need to analyze a newer film. This post is a little longer than the other ones, but I think you will enjoy the assignment. Make sure you start early to give yourself enough time to watch the whole film before you begin your analysis.Instructions to help you prepare:First, READ: “Teaching Children to Discriminate” by Lippi-Green. Find her argument and underline it. As you read the article, see how she analyzes the use of accent in the films. What does she argue that using stereotyped language does? WATCH: the video lecture. I discuss the article in detail.Second, SELECT a film: Choose a full-length animated film produced after 2000. It must be a feature-length movie released in the US in English. It does not have to be a Disney film. (Choose one Lippi-Green does not discuss in her article). It is OK if you chose the same film as another student. Just make sure your post is original.Watch the film and pay attention to: Which different accents are used by different characters? How does language help to evoke particular stereotyped identities?Third, write your post following the instructions below. Start a new thread (hit reply to my prompt, and then make the title of the film you chose the first line of your post).Fourth, Respond to at least two other students' posts. Write at least 1 paragraph per response. Don't just say "I agree", but try to develop the conversation. Ask questions, compare films or styles of language use. Respond to their claims, etc. Here is how you write your post: Your original post must include the following sections.Introduction: Introduce what you are doing and why (which film you chose, introduce Lippi-Green’s argument, and then state your own). Briefly summarize the movie’s plot and its main points.Mention the film’s location and the language people would logically be speaking there.Synthesis: Give a systematic description of the varieties of English used in the film.Do the main characters use standard American or British English? Are there lots of accents? What other non-mainstream ways of speaking aren’t tied to accent?Describe the relevant characters. Include their gender, what they look like, how they dress, their occupation, their friends, and their role in the movie. Connect this to the way they speak.Include at least one quote from the film.Analyze your findingsWhat are the linkages between characterization and language in this film?What choices, jobs, roles, do characters have and is this linked to their gender, and speech patterns?Which stereotypes are evoked in this film, and how does language help convey them?Which characters are animals, inanimate, humanoid and how do they talk?Conclusion:Conclude your findings about the film.What kind of impact could this film have on children and viewers?What does this activity tell you about connections between language and culture? Optional: include an image from the film. How to embed a photo in a discussion board

6.1 DiscussionDevelop a formal argument plan/position paper for your research topicInstructions:After you have identified your issue, written your linked questions, and spent some time researching and thinking about your topic during the Exploratory Essay stage, you need to start planning your Researched Argument paper. Your argument plan will include:A position statementRhetorical context analysisAudience analysisA claimA formal outline of your paper. You can build upon the informal outline you submitted last week.Tips:Here is some information to help you construct your plan:Position Statement: This is your answer to your issue question. Ideally, your new issue question emerges from the previous exploration of the topic. If you want to revise/change the issue question, you should discuss it with your professor, You should identify the issue question in the argumentative context, and then you should write your answer to the question. The statement should reflect your thoughts about the answer to your issue question. Your post should be based on the thinking you have done about this topic, and where you expect to be going with your position paper. Rhetorical Context: (Explain the issue and the context of the issue. You may want to identify for whom this issue is important and what the various sides of the issue are.Audience Analysis: Determine who the target audience for your argument is. Your target audience is your choice, so you should spend some time thinking about who they are and how you can reach them. You should think about the unstated assumptions, beliefs, attitudes and values of this audience.Claim: Similar to a thesis statement, this is the claim you will make with this paper. Once you have determined your audience, you need to develop a claim based on your position which is targeted toward your chosen audience.Reasons: These are the points you will make to support your claim and convince your audience. State the specific reasons why your claim is true.* Be sure to include any other elements which might be important to your argument, such as:Qualifiers and Exceptions: You may want to consider qualifiers and exceptions for your argument. These should be designed to make your argument stronger and may help you appeal to your audience. Note: Qualifiers are limits to your claim. They frame the claim so it is not absolute. Exceptions are situations or examples when your claim is not true. Objection/Rebuttal: an argument against your claim, and the rebuttal (or reason why that objection is wrong) against that objection.Common Ground: If you are developing a Rogerian style argument (see the PowerPoint on Argument Types in Unit 1), you will need to identify at least two sides of the issue and the common ground between these two sides.Solution: if there is a solution you want to recommend either based on your position or on the common ground you have identified, you should identify it in your plan.The following resource can be extremely helpful in organizing your argument plan. Please go to the Purdue Online Writing Lab and read the following sections: Strong Thesis Statements, Research and Evidence, Organizing Your Argument, and Rhetorical Strategies.See page 415 in the textbook for different types of argument and further independent reading suggestions.Reach out to your professor and ask for a conference or visit the Writing Center on any of three campuses to talk about your argument.6.2 Discussion Objective:Compare, contrast and evaluate argument outlinesInstructions:First, read the attached RA Outlines Samples.docxSecond, formulate one weakness and one strength for each of the two outlines.Third, decide which outline is the stronger of the two and explain your decision. Tip: you may want to consider elements of the argument (claim, reasons, refutation) and rhetorical appeals (logos, ethos, pathos) in your commentary.
