Students,
I wanted to send just a few ideas as clarification of your homework for this long weekend.
For the homework we discussed on Friday (due on Tues.), use my model entries at my "Research Notebook" (link at my blog) as helpful guides. You are writing two entries total: (1) a short, three paragraph entry that est. some background to the film and then gives (a) your assessment of the criticism you read and (b) your assessment of the film AFTER reading the criticism; (2) this is a short entry that includes your criteria for what to include in a review BASED on reading the reviews we have read.
For the second entry, you have three options:
1. for an "A-level" response - you come up with your own criteria all together
2. for a "B-level" response - you rewrite mine and add your own
3. for a "C-level" response - you fill in the blanks on mine and/or make minor changes ...
