Name, describe, and explain the media text. Provide a clear name for the text and explanation
of where it is located. For example, you might analyze an episode or scene from the Netflix series
Orange is the New Black. Identify the title and episode of this program in the introduction of your
paper, along with a concise descriiption of the context of the text (no longer than 2/3rds of a page).
Or, for example, you might choose to analyze an Axe body spray ad. The explanation of the ad
should describe what you find most significant and plan to examine. Ask yourself if a reader
would be able to understand your descriiption of the text without access to it. That said, make sure
you provide an APA citation of the text in your end references. Also, you will need to provide—
and bold or underline—your thesis statement in your introduction. For example: “More recent
Axe body spray ads have attempted to challenge masculine stereotypes.” Don’t use this particular
example in your paper, though.
• Provide examples of verbal and/or nonverbal communication in the media text and their
impact on an audience. You should describe a minimum of three uses of gendered language
and/or nonverbal messages in the media text and explain how you think they affect an audience.
For example, an analysis of Gal Gadot’s character in Wonder Woman may identify her costume
as an example of a gendered nonverbal message. Additionally, you should explain how that
nonverbal message might be received by specific audiences. How would a parent respond to the
costume? How would a child respond to this costume?
• Apply and synthesize course materials. Choose a minimum of two course concepts to apply
to the examples of verbal and/or nonverbal communication you have described in the media text.
For example, you might use “power feminism” as a framework for understanding Wonder
Woman’s costume. Or you might see “transphobia” illustrated in dialogue from a scene in
Orange is the New Black. Make the connections between these concepts and the text explicit.
