o Identify the chosen movie. o If you include a summary of the movie, take no more than 2 sentences to do so. o Name the analytical article and its author. o Quote the analytical article’s thesis. o End your intro with your thesis statement.

□ Your thesis should sum up how your focus movie fits in with the thesis/main argument of the analytical article. Do not quote in your thesis.

□ Following your introduction, write at least 3 body paragraphs. □ Focus the body paragraphs on analyzing your focus movie. □ Do NOT include a general summary of the movie in the body of your paper, but DO include specific

details from the scene as supporting evidence of your argument. □ Include at least 4 quotations from the key analytical article. You may also include quotes from the other

supporting articles you have found, following the paper’s requirements. □ Highlight or underline each quotation you have included. □ Include a page reference for each quote from an analytical article. □ A works cited section is optional. □ Your draft must be no more than 30% quoting. □ After submitting your rough draft, verify that the correct file has been uploaded and is complete. Suggestions • Check off the requirements as you complete them. • Rewatch your focus movie. • Incorporate the feedback you have received from me on your proposal, especially regarding the article’s

thesis and how it relates to your focus movie, • Review the feedback from your classmates in the discussion area. • Review the example Thematic Springboard papers posted on Canvas. • Incorporate specific scenes from the movie, including dialogue as well as appropriate editing and

cinematography techniques. • Analyze the significance of each movie detail and quotation that you include. Explain how each one ties

into the key analytical article’s thesis. 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.
