ASSIGNMENT BASICS:
Complete reading of Chapters 6 and 7. (JUST 7)
Read through all of the questions at the ends of Chapters 6 and 7 before watching your chosen film.
Choose 3 questions out of the questions at the end of Chapters 6 and 7: You can choose the questions from one, or both chapters.
Watch the film in full, in all one sitting if possible, with the questions you have chosen in mind. Take notes while watching if that is helpful to you.
Post Format: At the top of your discussion board post write, either in title form, or in sentence form--the name of the film, year made, director of the film, and when you watched the film (examples: Hugo, (2011) directed by Martin Scorsese, watched on 9/3/2024, OR I watched Hugo, made in 2011, directed by Martin Scorsese on September 3, 2024).
Post Format: Type each of the 3 questions you have chosen into the Discussion Board in the following way.
NOTE: The examples below are from the first discussion board, but are included as an example of how to type up your questions from the current chapters included in this discussion board assignment.
Name the Chapter the question comes from, (2) the page number it comes from (you can also label the subtitle that the question falls under as well), and (3) then label the question exactly as it appears in the chapter questions.
Example: (1) Chapter 3, (2) page 71, (2b-subtitle) On The Significance of Title, (3) Question 5: "If the title calls your attention to a key scene, why is that scene important?"
Then you would answer all three questions in the manner described below in the section entitled HOW TO WRITE YOUR POST.
