This sample course assignment was developed by Dr. Shannon Tushingham for her WSU undergraduate class in Archaeological Methods and Interpretation (ANTH 230). This is one of several graded assignments that are explicitly incorporated to develop graduate student mastery in public archaeology education and dissemination skills by exposing them to creative public communication projects, activities, and discussions. For this project, students create their public archaeology product in an “unessay” format. As an “unessay” assignment, students may select whatever topic or project they like, so long as the project is designed to reach some public audience. This assignment is cited in the paper, Public Archaeology Education “Of the People, For the People, By the People”: Democratized Science Communication in Theory and Practice”, 2021 paper in press by Shannon Tushingham and Tiffany Fulkerson, in a special issue of the Journal of Northwest Anthropology entitled Do We Reach More? Essays on Sharing Cultural and Archaeological Research.
