Choose your field experience from the following list and complete them in any order you choose:
Ethnic Newswatch: Compare the coverage of a news item in three different ethnic newspapers. What, if anything, is different about the way the story is represented in the different sources?
Cultural Exploration: Visit an area of Salt Lake that is a gathering place for people different from your own ethnic group. How do you feels as a "foreigner" there? Do you speak the language? What differences in communication (verbal and nonverbal) do you observe? What other differences do you notice?
Film Analysis: Watch a foreign film (not made in the US or English-speaking Canada) and describe what you learned about another culture's communication by watching the film.
**International Ss - choose a film from a culture other than the US or your own.
Literature Study: Read a piece of fiction from another culture. What does it teach you about that cultures' communication?
E-mail Relationship: Find someone on line from another culture and communicate with them via e-mail at least five times. Can you tell the person is from another culture from their on-line communications? How? (Please save each e-mail message and include a printed copy in your analysis.) *Be Responsible.
Your Own Idea: Create an exploration of your own - but please check with the instructor for approval.
