Answer any three of the following five questions:
1) Identify the major trends of Chicanos in higher education and determine how representative of those trends is NAU.
2) Analyze two salient legal decisions that have that have affected the educational standing of Chicanos.
3) Discuss the importance of gender and sexuality in Chicana Feminist literature.
4) According to Ortega, what are some the key conceptual features of Chicano Music?
5) Describe how Noriega links the expression of Chicano cinema with the Chicano Movement.
You will pick and answer 3 out of several questions assigned. The assignments are to be no more than three pages, but more than one and a half a pages (around a page per question). All assignments must be typed, double spaced, with one-inch margins, and an acceptable 12-point font such as “Times New Roman.” I expect a few things for the assignments. I will grade your assignments based on these “things.” First, be sure to use the texts as a guide in answering your question. While I welcome opinions, you will need to substantiate any of your argument(s) with citations. Cite all pertinent information from the text or from any other sources you might use, as I will be assessing your critical reading skills. This does not mean copying and pasting from a website or placing a long quote from the text in your paper. Second, (this should be obvious, but it still happens) be sure to check for spelling and grammar before turning your assignment. Also, be sure that some of the informal writing that happens in the discussions and in emails doesn’t get translated into sloppy work for assignments. Third, I will be also assessing the papers on effort, thoughtfulness, and content. While seemingly subjective terms, these elements, nonetheless, are the types of elements you know when you see them.
