After watching the documentary on Palestinian Weddings (access here:
https://www.aljazeera.com/program/episode/2016/8/31/palestinian-wedding/?gb=true (Links to an external site.)
you will write a short essay (min. 500 words; you may exceed this count) discussing the roles of music and dance in this major week-long celebration.
The essay should be solely based on the documentary; no outside sources are required.
Grading standards: 60% content/quality of responses; 40% academic writing (proofread for errors in grammar, syntax, spelling).
Tips:
Focus on the subject: roles of music and dance
Avoid extensive discussion on drawing parallels with American weddings
Concepts to talk about: song genres, poet-singer, examples/content of song lyrics, musical instruments, wedding processions, etc
Avoid extensive discussion of folk customs – again your emphasis should be on music/songs and dance
Proofread extensively
Use paragraphs
Use your own words. If you are directly quoting from the documentary, use quotes and parenthetical citations
