Name the album in your thesis.
Michael Jackson’s HIStory album has made a huge impact on pop culture because he brought awareness to issues of sex, gender, and race. He also brought awareness to issues related to the environment.
Somewhere in your paper, you need to define your KEY TERMS (genre, pop culture).
Sometimes you can define something based on what it is NOT.
When most people think of hip-hop, they imagine girls, cars, and big, flashy jewelry. However, that is not what K-Pop is.
Quoting - put marks around it, saying the source word for word
Summarizing - share the main point of the article and put it in their own words; you still have to have names, in-text citations, and the usual things you have when you quote.
Paraphrasing - putting it in your own words, but it’s not always short
How did K-pop originate?
How has K-pop influenced American culture?
How did K-pop get started?
How has hip hop influenced K-pop?
Discussion of Genre: define K-Pop; K-Pop is music that is fun and is meant to elicit joy when listened to and seen.
