Experiential Learning Activity #3
The purpose of this assignment is to understand, explore, and reflect upon the ways in which families are portrayed through popular media. This assignment will give you the opportunity to write about one of your favorite famous families (whether they’re fictional or not) and apply concepts from class to the media you consume.
Directions:
Part 1 – Planning
For this assignment, please identify one famous family to analyze. This famous family can be real (e.g., the Kardashians) or fake (e.g., The Simpsons). Once you’ve chosen who you’d like to analyze, please find a video clip of them interacting. This clip will serve as the example you draw your analysis from.
Part 2 – Thinking
While you watch this famous family, consider the following questions:
What communication techniques does this family use and are they effective?
What communication pattern does the family you chose engage in? Describe with examples.
Is this an effective style for the family? Why or why not?
As someone who is a fan of the famous family, what contextual factors do you need to understand to make sense of your chosen clip? For example, if you picked a clip of a family fighting, you might want to explain what they’re fighting about.
What recommendations do you have for this family? That is, how can they improve their communication with each other?
