Need help with a history assignment
Movie Paper Assignment Information
Students will complete a “Movie Reaction Essay” during the semester. For the paper, the student will:
View a movie from the list distributed by the instructor in D2L depicting events during the scope of the course, then write a 4-5 page paper analyzing the movie as history by addressing the following points:
1. Briefly describe the plot of the movie in 2-2½ pages;
2. Determine whether the movie portrayed the events depicted accurately or not, making sure to give examples of which parts of the movie were accurate and which parts of the movie were not accurate (there are many sites on the Internet that review the historical accuracy of movies, so consult one or more of them for this section of the paper);
3. Determine if and where the director of the movie took “poetic license” with the facts to make the movie more interesting or exciting;
4. Brainstorm where you think the authors/director of the movie obtained the information on which the movie is based; and
5. Explain how you think the movie can be used to teach or enhance the learning of history.
For the assignment, prepare a paper that is well-written and answers all parts of the assignment. A cover page is needed; put your name, cite the movie viewed, including the title of the movie, the director, and the year of release on the cover page and in the Works Cited page. You should have at least one (1) in-text citation of a reference or references for any works you consulted writing the paper. You should have a “Works Cited” page (a separate page) with at least one reference other than the citation for the movie from which you obtained your information. Make sure the margins are 1” all around and that you include page numbers. The student will be allowed to resubmit the paper once for a better grade.
Upload the paper to Dropbox in D2L. Submission deadline for the paper is April 15, 2022.
Once the professor posts the list of approved movies on D2L, students may propose other full length movies depicting events or people who lived during the time period for the assignment, but the proposal must be made at least 2 weeks before the due date to give the instructor the opportunity to view the movie to determine whether or not the movie may be used for the assignment.
