Finishing Up!
B”H
There is no final in my class, but all papers and make-up work is due by the end of final’s week.
I will e-mail the summary of your assignments (what has been turned in and what has not been turned in) by the beginning of final’s week.
Meanwhile, you know what you did and didn’t do. Did you finish the two discussion boards? Did you forget to send me the civilization screen shot? What about the Google Maps pictures? This is a very good time to SEND THEM TO ME!!!

Your reflective essay is the same topic as your in-class essay. Consider your in-class essay to be a rough draft for this essay. Do not turn in the reflective essay, just post it directly to your e-portfolio.
Here is the essay topic:
Reflect upon your writing before you were in WISE English, and as you moved through the program this year. What is the most significant thing you learned this year, and how do you think it will prepare you for your future?

Academic Movie Review
B”H
Please finish the rough draft for your academic movie review by Thursday, November 4th.
In class on tuesdayWe will discuss some of the problems you encountered. The full assignment can be accessed here.
The most important thing to remember about this review is that you must focus on one small aspect of the movie (a scene, a character, an issue), then analyze that small aspect of the movie through a critical lens.
It is OK to give a short synopsis of the movie so that you can clarify how what you will be doing, then go into the scene/issue you want to focus on, but PLEASE DO NOT RETELL THE MOVIE FOR YOUR WHOLE PAPER!!! I have already seen the movie, I don’t need you to tell it to me again!
Start by focusing upon a small aspect of the movie. Present a research question from a particular critical perspective. Analyze the movie through that research question using three sources. Don’t forget to include your sources in footnotes or end notes, and bibliography.
