Connect what you have learned in the CILB ,and gallery you visited above, to one idea you learned from our required readings (Ravelli & Webber Text. Do not use the same concept you used in APA Essay #1.

Said another way: Was there something that you learned about in the CILB that reminded you of something you noticed in our readings? Writing about how the art exhibit/artist you introduced is a concrete example of the idea from the text (see suggested outline below).
 

Formatting Guidelines
Because this is short essay, there is no formal introduction or conclusion.



APA in-text citations MUST have page or paragraph information (Author, YEAR: page/par)
Do not mention author names or article/book titles in the body of a sentence.
No "direct quotations", unless you want to include a short statement from an Indigenous speaker or author.

We are always working towards paraphrasing (writing in our own voice)
We also want to prioritise the voices of First Nations Metis and Inuit peoples when writing about social phenomena related to these communities and Nations.
You cannot include "direct quotations" from the textbook (Ravelli and Webber): paraphrase (use your own words).

LANGUAGE praxis: Use the names of the communities, nations and scholars when you know them. For example:

Do not use 'Indigenous' if you know you are writing about someone who is from an Anishinaabe community.
Do not generalise "an Indigenous artist" if you know you are writing about an artist who self-identifies as Cree.
