Please help and answer the following questions.Thank you

Please watch this video on CAMELS. This is my mnemonic for different types of arguments within an argument. Music and all forms of art often have S-social commentary, but academic argument is full of CAMEL. Thats where teasing the S, the social commentary out of your music might lead you to interesting topics and research questions.

For example, heres a podcast that really expands on the songs social commentary about the earworm you probably already know, Let it Go from the Disney movie Frozen. A former student in the early versions of the Writing from the Playlist class theme used an NPR podcast to inspire her topic about dysfunctional perfectionism--what caused it, what effects it has, and what should be done about it. Ill be sharing Teresas paper as a model later, but if you want to check it out now to see how you too could use a song to enter an academic conversation inspired by a popular song, read her paper here. For this log, however, please listen (or read the transcript) to the 6 minute podcast that Teresa used as an inspiration. In particular, for this log, you should be on the lookout for what the artist has to say about their own work. As in Teresas essay, learning the origin of a song from the songwriters themselves opened up her paper to a larger conversation; it may have sparked her entire research project. So having a specific song, album, or artists experience is important to develop a specific focus in your paper. As we can see from the podcast, the song or album (or in conjunction with the movie) may have at its core social commentary about a problem the artist is interested in exploring through their music. Then use that in your search to help learn more about the problem you will be writing about.

Hints:

• Watch my video and/or review the slides for this log.Research log 3 tips.pptx
• Eventually, your research keywords may very well abandon the music, the song, or the artist. But that is more than okay it is to be expected.
• Keep in mind what attitudes (or whose attitudes) you want to change in your argument. For an example of what I mean by attitudes, read the first page of this article by Dr. Vay: Comments on Should Writers Use They Own English_.pdf

Brainstorm 1: Five Minute Sprint. Set the timer for five minutes and write as fast as you can to outrun your inner critic. Write about any music, genre, song, album, or artist you think pertains to your research question. If you are writing fast enough, you might have a gut response that doesnt make sense at first. Thats okay. Listen to it: your subconscious might be right! You dont have to like or agree with the music--or even understand it--for it could be in another language you may or may not know (all languages welcome)-- and you can think of other songs later, but for now,

1. What music or artists possibilities do you have in mind?
2. What information would you need to research about the background of the song(s), album(s) or artist(s)? What questions do you have?

Hints:

• It might be easier to find info about the songs album rather than the song itself.

Research

• What did you look for? Why
• List your search terms and/or paste your usable search results.
• What did you find? Describe it in your own words and provide links here.

Write a main point summary of the song, album, or artists interview material you found. Imagine you are writing this for your research paper and the audience cannot be expected to go listen to the song, watch, or read the interview. Indeed this writing could very well be used later in your paper. A good example of this would be in Teresas paper when she wrote about the movie Frozen in the first paragraph, and how she situated the song in the context of the movie. Give it a try.. Write an introduction to the song, album, or interview of the artist in as much context as needed, as shown in Teresas first paragraph when she not only introduces the movie Frozen and the important characters, but also the song in the context of the story.

Additional Brainstorm: Write 1 or 2 sentences for each of the Camels as it relates to your song, album, artist or research on these. Feel free to generate these out of order as they come to you (i.e, order not important).

• Causes or effects of the problem Im looking into inspired by the song/ artist include_________
• Actions implied or suggested in the song or artists messages (i.e what people should do about the problem) include_________
• Moral or ethical issue(s) at stake might be_________
• Existence of a problem or troubling ideas central to the song, album, or artists experience: The problem that exists is___________
  • Examples or facts (lyrics, story) from the song/ album/artists life or experience proving the problem exists include ___________
  • An evaluation, decision, or choice at the core of the topic/ problem could be_________
• Language, laws, or literature open to interpretation to help solve the problem would be__________
• The commentary the song or album is making about societys problem is that______________

Reflection: Take about 5 minutes to reflect on this activity.

• From these research activities, what new questions or ideas arose?
• What information do you need to find next?
• Whose voice is missing?
• Do you have any questions for me? Or questions for your research?
