Paper 2: 

Preparation for Writing Paper 2:

1. Review course materials on race and the American family

2. Find outside sources on race and the American family/and or media representations (4

outside sources)

3. Choose 3 television shows you believe are good examples of how US media represents

race and family on television (stereotypes, lack of representation, etc.). You can use the

same shows you used for paper 1 if they contain the material necessary for this paper.

4. Once you have chosen your television shows, watch an episode or two, and take notes.

Your notes will help provide more detail for your examples.

5. Your paper should include the following:

Appendix of your three TV shows episodes

(2 points) 

The appendix (

in your own words

) needs to provide general information on each of the

programs included in your analysis. This should include an overview of the setting, relevant

characters, and the target audience. Again, you do not need to summarize the episodes that you

watched. Just give me a quick background of the show Make sure to tell me the TV show name,

season of the episode you are using for your paper, and the episode number and title that you are

using. You can use more than one episode, but it tends to be easiest to select one episode per TV

show. 

Introduction 

(2 points)

Explain what your paper is about. What about race and family are you covering? In order to

guide your writing, you should have a couple of questions that you are attempting to answer

(example: 

What are the differences across the programs in terms of portraying race/ethnicity,

representation of racial groups? Are stereotypes common, and how can they be harmful?

Include 

those in your introduction, and name the shows you have watched. In this paper you would

obviously focus on race.

Literature Review and Overall Body of Paper

(3 points)

This is where you bring in course materials and outside sources. Use them to support your

statements about media representation of race and family. This is where you also include your

television shows as examples.

Conclusion

Why does this paper matter? Tell us about the importance of accurate representations of racial

groups in American Television. Give us a summary of what you observed.
