For this assignment you will develop, present, and justify a concept for a new children’s media property inspired by the knowledge you’ve gained in this course. The concept can be for a new television program or series, a podcast series, a video game, or an app. The assignment has two components; All papers should include a discussion of these components: -Clear explanation of the concept and purpose -Knowledgeable integration of at least three course terms and/or theories -Target audience demographics and psychographics (no more than a four year range) -Why kids will love it. –Overview of the competitive environment; other items that are similar to your concept and how your idea is still unique -The financial model for the concept. -Concerning elements: is there anything in your concept that could be a concern to a parent? An educator? A regulator or government official? How will your concept deal with these concerns? ELEMENTS TO INCLUDE IN BOTH PRESENTATION AND PAPER: Your presentation and paper are basically conveying the elements of a SHOW BIBLE as we discussed in class (Remember and refer to The Cat in the Hat show bible). Determine which of the elements below should be explained so that your idea is super clear to your audience. You do not need to discuss ALL of these components. 1. Character details- tell us about the number of and type of characters, distinguishing characteristics, gender, race, ethnicity, age, grade, disability, etc and how kids of that age act 2. Educational details- if your concept is educational, how does it connect to curriculum goals for your target audience? For example, if you’re creating an app with math games for children ages 4-7, then your idea should be teaching the specific math curriculum that children 4-7 learn and build on those elements in some way, and include a statement from some math organization supporting that these are the math goals for children 4-7. What will be the main lesson and the secondary lesson? Will you integrate the ARCS model? How? 3. Entertainment details- why will kids be interested in this concept? what is unique or attracting about your concept? Is it Interactive? How? Will parents want to coplay? Why? Is there something about the design? What? 4. Business/ revenue model- how will this concept make money? Who will pay for it? Will there be direct funds (people pay for it when they use it) or will something else fund it (such as merchandise)? Who will provide the money to produce/create it? 5. Concerns—will parents love it? Hate it? Will regulators have any problems with it? Is it guided by any specific regulations? Is it violent? Could kids cyber-bully with it? Privacy issues? 6. Competition—Has anyone else had an idea like this? What is your idea most similar to? Did you do (at minimum) a Google search of your topic idea? If you find that someone else has already created this, you must come up with a different idea or substantially improve upon the other person’s concept. 7. Proof of concept- how do you know that the thing you think will happen with kids and your idea, will actually happen? Are you following a ‘best practice’ for this kind of entertainment? Education? How do you know this will make kids laugh, cry, engage, sing, learn…whatever? The idea must connect with course concepts on a deep level. How can you show that your knowledge of media and children, as learned in this course, influenced your concept? Integrate at least 2 theories or terms from the course into your paper. This could include terms from the following list, or others that have been referenced through the semester. (Note that Social Learning Theory is NOT on the list.) Social Development Theory Cognitive Development Theory Script Theory or Schema Theory Uses & Gratifications Theory- ritualistic, instrumental Moral Development Theory Cultivation Theory ARCS model COPPA or CIPACARU and Verifiable parental consent Edu-tainment Adver-gaming Stereotypes and Representation Intersectionality Globalization/Media imperialism Cultural competency Gender constancy Drip vs. Drench Theory Excitation Transfer Theory Cognitive Neoassociation Theory Mean World Syndrome Purchase answer to see full attachment Tags: Educational Concept Humanities and English ACRS model guarantee success latest technological advancements Student has agreed that all tutoring, explanations, and answers provided by the tutor will be used to help in the learning process and in accordance with our company’shonor code & terms of service.

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics

Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.

BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES

In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.

General Guidelines

• The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
• Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE

MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:

Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).

Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).

Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:

Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR

For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.

Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).

Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).

These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:

Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
