Kaufmann (Eds.), Teaching Communication: Volume IV: Instructional Resources (pp. 806-810). Cognella.https://hdl.handle.net/1805/50372This assignment was adapted from a sample syllabus by Dr. Charee Thompson posted on the NCA website in which she asked students to create a Top 5 list in the form of a 3-5 page paper. We adapted her original idea to the current assignment which asks students to create a Top 5 Listicle (i.e., a portmanteau of list + article) commonly used in media today that is usually a combination of text, statistics, graphics, charts, and other visual elements. We are thankful to Dr. Charee for the inspiration for this assignment and we hope the adaption we’ve described below is something that our fellow Communication scholars may find useful to integrate into their classes.enfamily communicationcommunication studies assignmentOther
