Film portrayals, whether they be historical or satirical in nature, offer a perspective on past or current events that may enhance your understanding of our topics. In three units, you will watch a film (you will have a choice for each unit) and write about how the film affects your understanding of our topic, where it diverges or agrees with our readings, how it relates to or refutes the current national news, and the message it presents. Some films are available on Netflix, some on Amazon Prime, some on iTunes, some on YouTube, and others available on-demand. As access to these movies via online sources changes regularly, I have no way of knowing what is available when and on what format it is your responsibility to research this and utilize the information for your benefit. As each unit has movies readily available in the library at the Circulation Desk on reserve for this class, I expect that you will be able to access these easily and without cost. For one film per unit, write a creative 1-2 page typed in Times New Roman font, double-spaced, essay in which you integrate: (1) The film, (2) our readings, and (3) current events. You will turn in your essays via D2L. Please use spell-check, grammar-check, and review your work prior to turning it in. You will cite your sources using APA format. Papers are due by 11:59 p.m. on April 28, 2020. For each film essay, please address the issues below. Your essay will be required to include: Identified film chosen, date observed: 0-1 points Cited sources using APA format: 0-3 points Identified political messages of the film, provided examples (character, event): 0-2 points Identified how film relates to readings, provided examples (chapter, reading): 0-2 points TOTAL: 0-10 points Chapters 15-17, American Government 2e (1998) (1976) (2007) (2011) (2008) (2010) (1994) (2008) (1996) (1997) (2006) (2000) (1962) (2008) (2015) (2012) (1958) (2012) (2007) (2015) (2018) online at PBS Frontline (2017) online at PBS Frontline Purchase the answer to view it
