INSTRUCTIONS:
NO SUMMARY of the film is needed (or wanted). We want your analysis of the film on issues relating to planning, design, environment, culture, and/or society. Be sure to write a very succinct paper with intro, body, and conclusion. Spend time checking grammar, punctuation, run-on sentences, incomplete sentences, and spelling (see writing guidelines document in. Here`s a paper structure hint that you may find helpful: 1. Think of a position on a major issue you would like to analyze for the movie. 2. Think of 2-4 statements that support your position. 3. In your intro paragraph, clearly state your position (identified in #1) and briefly mention your supporting statements (#2). 4. Each paragraph after your intro should be dedicated to explaining ONE of your supporting statements. Use specific examples from the movie to provide further support and evidence. 5. Write a concluding paragraph that essentially wraps up your position, and ideally provides sheds sort of new light based on the arguments provided in the body of the paper. DO: • WRITE a paper with a clear structure, that has an introduction, body and conclusion. • THINK critically about the issues portrayed in the movies and read the supporting articles on Blackboard to get a better grip on issues. • CHECK the guidelines and the example papers posted on Blackboard`s Course Information tab to have a better idea of what a good paper looks like. • CITE your sources if you chose to use other information - Otherwise it will be considered as plagiarism • BECOME FAMILIAR with the term "Urban Planning" if you need to. • USE proper language, grammar and punctuation, if you are unsure about your writing skills use the resources available at ASU, such as the Writing Center. • PROOF-READ and use spell check. • CONTACT us with any questions or concerns. DON`T: • DON`T use 1st person or statements that refer to your personal opinion, for example: "I think", "I believe", "I noticed", "In my opinion", etc. This is an analysis paper of issues portrayed in the films, NOT your personal opinion of the movie • DON`T use 2nd person statements, for example: "YOU have to", "When YOU see..." or anything containing the word "YOU" / "YOUR". These kind of statements make your papers sound informal and less than academic. • DON`T summarize the films, we`ve all seen them, get straight to the issues analysis part. • DON`T review the films, that is not the purpose of the paper. • DON`T use contractions (he`s, it`s, didn`t, etc.) Spell it out (he is, it is, did not, etc) • DON`T stretch your papers with unusual letter fonts, spacing or plain rambling. We will discount points for any of these things
