You then must include the following in your write up:
Directions:
1. You should have a brief paragraph introducing the film you chose.
2. Next, you should have one paragraph for each theory or principle you believe is relevant to the film. You will need to describe your theory or principle, using the text and lecture notes to support and describe the principle/theory you are applying and then apply it to the film. For each principle or theory, you should have at least 3 examples from the film. Make sure you bold and underline your main principles and or theories.
3. You should also integrate and use other additional terms, concepts or data that are important to your main theory or principle and will help illustrate your point or explain the film or how a feminist lens/womens studies allows you to view the film differently.
4. Wrap up your paper with a conclusion paragraph.
5. You need to use proper citations both internally and with a works cited page (APA style preferred) and you need to pay attention to grammar, spelling and writing style. Your analysis should be analytical and well-written and be about 3-4 pages; double-spaced; 1-inch margins; 12-point font.
