Writing Question 1669

Create an essay and/or project that takes into account the research you’ve done into the UCSD student newspapers and your own experiences as a UCSD student in 2024. The structure of this project is open-ended, meaning you could write an essay, create an art piece, or create an interactive digital element—a timeline, map, audio or video clip, etc. There are two main goals: be creative and ground your work in historical analysis and context.

  • First, choose 2-3 items from the set of newspapers you’ve been researching and analyzing.
    • 2-3 articles you read/analyzed for Project Journal #2 or new pieces based on what you’d like to focus on for this project
  • Create your project (essay/video/timeline/etc.) and be sure to:
    • Synthesizes the main issues in the papers (what they meant to past students)
    • Clearly analyzes why these papers/articles are relevant to your own experience as a student at UCSD

Other guidelines/information:

  • You may decide to focus on one of the six main themes that previous cohorts have identified, but you don’t have to!
    • Student Political Activism
    • Students versus Administration
    • Campus Social Life
    • International News
    • Campus Traditions
    • Anti-War Movement(s)
  • Incorporate the any other secondary source research you’ve done for your second Project Journal if it is relevant. If you’re citing an outside source, be sure to include a link if one is available. (If not, include the details of the article, book, book chapter, etc., in a clearly labeled works cited/bibliography.)
  • Make sure you provide links to the newspapers you are analyzing.
  • There’s no firm word count here, but if you’re writing an essay, a good ballpark would be about 750-1,000 words (roughly 3-4 double-spaced pages). If it is a little longer or shorter that is fine
