FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
African Americans have had a huge impact on what dance in america is today, "Without the African contribution, we would not have had American dance as we know it" |
Over the years, dancers has evolved drastically from dancing "for themselves and one another," to dancing for an audience, and for money. |
African movement has influenced dance styles such as "jazz, ballet...concert modern dance," "todays hip hop and freestyle." |
Unlike any other culture, "African influence can be found in American music and dance." |
All dancers start from humble beginnings, and "many dances made it into the mainstream spotlight." |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
The purpose of this source is to provide a history of american dance and music as it is so greatly influenced and shaped by african culture. From the beginnings of slavery, to the popularity of dance moves, to small stages, to big audiences, to new dance styles, to the entertainment industry we see today. The movement we see in modern dance styles today with dance companies as well as with musical artists is immensely african based.
Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
The source is credible because it provides historical evidence to prove how dance has evolved and how African culture has been a catheter for that.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
The author does not benefit from this, it is simply informational. Although it mentions a movie that tells the story of the timeline displayed on the website. So perhaps it would get people to buy the series.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
No i do not.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
Yes, the author makes countless references alluding to historical facts and direct information from primary sources.
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
I will use this source to open the history of my project topic, how problems originated from the early years of dance into what problems remain now.
