Capstone Group Project: Analysis of a Language Capstone Group Project: Analysis of a Language Create the following assignment within your small group communities: You will have multiple class periods to work on the assignment but you will also have to assign responsibilities to individuals to complete outside of class in order to complete the assignment successfully. Each group will receive a group grade as well as an individual grade. Your assignment is to analyze a language in the local area. You will write this in the form of an individual research paper which will be linked to the papers of your colleagues. You will then integrate the pieces and present it to the class as a lesson. After selecting the language, the group will decide which element of the laguage each person will analyze (i.e., phon., morph., syntax, cultural elements). You should hand in the plan of the group, significant contributions and who made them, a personal log of your own daily contributions to the group, and your individual research paper & lesson plan.
