  write about what the film is about and how it matters to our class. Generally the papers should be NO MORE THAN HALF devoted to explaining the point of the film, the argument of the speaker, the topic of the lecture, etc. *****The OTHER HALF MUST RELATE THE EVENT, FILM, SPEAKER, ETC. to things we have discussed and learned in the course; NOTE HOW THIS MATTERS TO THE STUDY OF IR AS DICUSSED IN THE READINGS, LECTURE, and TEXT OF THE CLASS. Again, HALF YOUR PAPER MUST BE ABOUT HOW THE FILM OR LECTURE RELATES DIRECTLY TO WHAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED IN CLASS!! This means that any essay that does not do this will NOT GET THE CREDIT. Generally, a paper will describe what you saw (film’s plot, point of the discussion or speaker, where and when, etc.
