Read the full directions for the paper before completing this assignment. Rough Draft Requirements □ Write about the same movie listed on your proposal, unless I have required you to make a change. □ Your draft must be at least 700 words (which is half of the requirement for the final paper).

□ Following your introduction, write at least 3 body paragraphs. □ Focus each body paragraph on one of the assigned criteria. □ Include a strong topic sentence for each body paragraph that does the following:

o Names the criterion being evaluated in that paragraph. o Sums up how well the movie meets the criterion.

□ Do NOT include a general summary of the movie in the body of your paper, but DO include specific details from the movie as supporting evidence of your evaluation

□ Include at least 5 quotations with the following restrictions: o No more than 2 quotations from the movie. o At least 1 quotation from 2 different articles.

□ Highlight or underline each quotation you have included. □ Include a page reference for articles that incorporate page numbers.

Suggestions • Check off the requirements as you complete them. • Rewatch your chosen movie. • Incorporate the feedback on your proposal and on your discussion posting. • Remember that the above requirements do not include all of the elements needed in the final

paper, such as discussing one film term/technique from this semester for each criterion. Evaluation Your draft will be evaluated only on completion of the above requirements, so spend most of your drafting time on filling out your ideas and not on proofreading. I will provide several comments/suggestions regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the rough draft. In addition, I will identify several formatting and grammar corrections that are needed. After I have commented on your rough draft, feel free to ask for additional feedback by emailing me specific questions or even a revised draft.
