Overview
NOTE: All film reactions (maximum 5) may be uploaded to the same folder. If you are turning them in all at once, you may put them in one document, but if so, put a note at the top so that your TA will know there are multiple reactions in a single document, and will not miss subsequent pages.
Film options are listed below, and are available in the public domain or through Kanopy, For guidance on using Kanopy, consult the library,.All films are closed-captioned. To complete a film reaction, view the film on your own time, and write a minimum of 200 words (no maximum), sharing your thoughts and reactions to the film. Citations are not required for film reactions, unless you use a source besides the film (optional). If you do cite, follow the formatting instructions in the assignment guidelines section of the syllabus. Each completed film reaction is worth 2 points, and you may complete a maximum of 5 film reactions for credit.
