This is an excellent assignment for any anthropology or linguistic anthropology class. This is a complete assignment, including spaces to fill in for percentage of the points, explicit directions, a sample paper from this assignment, and resources to consult for background information. It even includes a list of questions to ask an informant!
This would be an excellent template to use for a class assignment where the principles of ethnography have already been covered in a classroom. Parts of the assignment can be altered (such as characteristics of the informant, questions to ask) to suit the particular class and learning environment.
