Your job in this assignment is to answer the question: What is the significance of calling the songs in this album, \u2018hymns of the 49th Parallel\u2019?<\/p>\n

To answer this question, you need to FIRST answer the following questions:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What is a hymn?<\/li>\n
  2. What is the purpose of a hymn?<\/li>\n
  3. These songs are all covers. Who originally wrote\/sang these songs?<\/li>\n
  4. How do the original artists fit within the Canadian popular cultural scene?<\/li>\n
  5. Which of the theories about religion (i.e. what is religion?) are most helpful in understanding why these songs might be called hymns?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Once you have answered these questions, ONLY THEN can you start to write your paper. Under no circumstances should your paper be a list of the answers to these questions. These are background questions to help you answer your original research question: What is the significance of calling the songs in this album, \u2018hymns of the 49th Parallel\u2019?<\/p>\n

    Your paper should refer directly to at least <\/em>3 songs written by different artists. Your paper should also refer directly to at least <\/em>one of the religious studies <\/strong>scholars discussed in Klassen, chapter 1 and\/or the lecture on studying religion. Referring directly means actually finding a text written by that scholar about religion and citing it in your paper. Please use Chicago author-date style for citations. If you do not know how to cite a song\/album or website, LOOK IT UP. If you can\u2019t find a style guide online there should be one in the library.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    You will be graded on the following criteria:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Do you display a good knowledge of the concept of hymns and religion?<\/li>\n
    2. Have you used direct reference to the religious studies scholars in an effective manner?<\/li>\n
    3. Do you display a good knowledge of the history of these songs?<\/li>\n
    4. Have you critically analysed the relationship between these songs and religion?<\/li>\n
    5. Do you make a logical argument, with a thesis** in the introduction, points that flow into each other, and a concluding paragraph?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Have you proofread your assignment for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and citations?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Each of these criteria will be worth 10 marks for a total of 60.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        **Note: a thesis tells me your conclusion. \u201cThis paper looks at the ways that these songs are hymns\u201d is not a thesis. This tells me what you are going to do, not what you have concluded. Your thesis should tell my what you have concluded. Then you prove it to me in your paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
