Watch a film made in the last 25 years from one of the following genres Melodrama, Science Fiction/Fantasy, or Horror. It cannot be from the genre that your favorite movie is from (the film you told us was your favorite in week one).

NOTE: TO DO THIS, YOU NEED TO MATCH GENRE TO GENRE. A MOVIE FROM THE LAST 25 YEARS THAT IS IN THE GENRE ABOVE AND ONE FROM THE RESOURCE LISTED OR THE ALTERNATIVE RESOURCE LIST.

What does it have in common with the films of that genre in the week three content? How is the film different?

NOTE: TO DO THIS PART, YOU NEED TO LOOK AT ONE OF THE FILMS FOR WEEK 3.

How does sound play a part in the film you watched? Identify at least three places that sound stood out in the film.

(NOTE: CHECK OUT THE INFORMATION ON FOLEY WORK ON THE WEEK 3 ANNOUNCEMENT PAGE OR IN ALTERNATIVE RESOURCES IN THE WEEK 3 MODULE.)

In the last  unit, we discussed the creation of body paragraphs for your research paper.  Now with the feedback, you should have a good idea of the revision needed.  Are there more points you need or some added verbiage needed  to  further support your thesis, along with the evidence you will use to support those points?

Think about the process so far and feel free to use this writing as a reflection upon what you have experienced so far in the course. You might want to consider some of the questions below, but you are not required to answer all of them. Remember, as always, that this discussion should be a positive and constructive experience for everyone. The idea is that you reflect upon the process so that you understand it, understand yourself as a new student writer, and understand the challenges and successes you experience.

What do you think is your strongest point? What do you think is your weakest? Do you think the scope of your project is narrowed down efficiently? How are you feeling about the process? What do you think about the structure of the body paragraphs? Does the structure seem too restrictive or helpful and guiding? Looking back on some of the materials that you have read, can you see the structures that we have discussed in the course so far? Do you see differences between academic and public sources in terms of how the paragraphs are constructed?

THE FIVE PARAGRAPH (500 word) ESSAY OUTLINED

TITLE: The title should reflect the main idea of the essay. The title should be concise and interesting. 

PARAGRAPH 1: Introduction 

The essays introduction should consist of a minimum of five sentences. The introductory paragraph should begin with a general statement that reflects the essays topic. The paragraph will likely include transitional sentences or background information sentences that will then lead the reader into the writers purpose the thesis statement. The thesis statement is what the writer will prove throughout his/her essay in the body paragraphs. The thesis should include a plan of development; it should consist of the writers position on the paper topic and the three points the writer will describe in the essays body to prove his/her position (Thesis example: The hiking trip was a disaster because (1) it rained the whole time, (2) we lost our camping equipment, (3) and our guide broke his leg.)

BODY PARAGRAPHS 2,3,& 4:

Each of the body paragraphs should begin with a topic sentence. If the writer has used the three point thesis model, writing each body paragraphs topic sentence should be easy. The first body paragraphs topic sentence, for example, should reflect the first point in the thesis statement (refer to the above thesis example i.e. The torrential rains ruined the trip.). It then becomes the writers task to develop and support the point these are your body paragraphs supporting sentences. Once the writer effectively illustrates the first point, he/she will then proceed to the second point and follow the same guidelines for paragraph development (point two will introduce body paragraph two, and point three will introduce paragraph three). 

PARAGRAPH 5: The Conclusion

In this paragraph, the writers task is to complete the essay. The function of the conclusion is to provide closure for the reader. The writer will remind the reader of his/her thesis by reviewing the points made in the essays body (Note: be careful not to restate the points exactly). To close the last paragraph, the writer may include his/her final perspective on the essays topic.
