Below is the bibliographic information from the reading packet.
Reminder: ALL essays are due in class on Friday. Don't miss class because you still need to print it out, etc.
Manage your time so that it's ready, or you can email me a copy and hand in the print out later that day if absolutely necessary. Everyone must hand in a printed copy.
I am willing to continue to offer assistance via email but you will need to contact me before Thursday, as I will be traveling and email will not be as easily accessible.
Some tips:
1) 1000 words is not very much, so don't waste valuable word count space with unnecessary biographic information or plot summaries, unless they are absolutely crucial to your topic.
2) Be as focused and specific with your topic as possible. If you want to write about thematic or production elements, choose ONE, don't try to cover several in one short essay.
3) Let the film text be your primary reference point. Close analysis of scenes is virtually impossible if you have only seen the film once, so make the effort to view it as many times as you can.
4) Make sure you thoroughly proofread your essay before handing it in; that does not just mean running a spellcheck on it; read carefully for usage or grammar errors.
