Pop Culture Relationship Analysis Presentation
Objective:
Everyone has their favorite celebrity couple whether that is Beyonce and Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West (formerly), Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, or others. Each of these relationships typically follow the stages of relationship development mentioned in our textbook. Your task for this assignment is to create a presentation where you detail a pop culture couple’s relationship.
Assignment:
For this analysis, you and a partner must choose THREE communication concepts related to relationship development (Chapters 8, 9, 10, 11, and 14) and analyze a pop culture relationship. You do not have to do celebrity couples – it could be from your favorite movie or TV show (for example Ross and Rachel from Friends). It would be beneficial to provide a timeline of the relationship and relate that timeline to the stages of relationship escalation and dissolution (if the couple has broken up). There may be other terms and concepts you can use, but a timeline will be beneficial.
Your presentation should have an introduction with a description of your couple and a preview of your points. Then your concepts should be arranged logically in how you will discuss them. You should end with a final review of your points and conclusion.
In your presentation, you should define your terms and cite from your textbook. For information about your couple, you should look at magazine articles or news stories or other pieces of online content to find evidence about their relationship. If you are doing a non-celebrity couple, evidence may come in the form of multiple episodes and short clips from those episodes. Please review PurdueOWL for in-text citation information.
*If you are analyzing a tv/movie couple, you need to cite the episode(s) or the movie they are in.
