Overview
Assignment Parameters: Mini-Narrative Analysis Assignment is based on chapter opening narratives (mini-narratives or vignettes) from the second edition of your textbook, Intercultural Communication: A Critical Perspective. Over the course of the term, you will be required to complete TWO mini-narrative analyses. However, for each of these assignments, you are expected to choose only ONE narrative from any of the chapters that were covered as you are writing your mini-speech assignment.
Analyze each of the mini-narratives in a journal entry in terms of the following questions:
How does this mini-narrative illustrate the main concept of its chapter (*you may need to identify the specific concept that you want analyzed)?
What role did power play in the mini-narrative? How so?
What were the tensions and insights experienced by the individual in the mini-narrative?
How does a critical intercultural communication perspective shed light on this mini-narrative? What does such a perspective reveal about this mini-narrative?
How does that individual in the mini-narrative enact the ACT Framework For Intercultural Justice?
