TA

EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY

This is not an additional class requirement – it is optional.

You may earn extra credit by seeing films that are available at one of two venues – the Historic Elsinore Theatre or Salem Cinema. This is how it works. You go to one movie from the list at the end of this page . Afterward, you turn a one page, typewritten response paper (about 200 words) that addresses these questions:

1. What was the genre of the film you watched?

2. What was the filmmaker trying to convey through the film?

3. Did the filmmaker achieve his/her goal and why/how?

Your answers should reflect what you have learned so far in the class.

When you turn in the paper, attach your ticket stub to the paper . It will not be acceptable otherwise. You need to write the paper using proper grammar and avoiding writing errors. If you fail to use proper writing, you will not be given the extra credit. The paper will not be graded with a percentage or letter grade. It’s a completion exercise and you will receive an “A” for acceptable or an “N” for not acceptable.

Completing the paper will raise your two lowest quiz scores ten points each. For example, if you got a 70/C- on one quiz and a 65/D on another, by completing the extra credit, your new scores for the first quiz would be 80/B- and 75/C for the second quiz.

Please note these special limitations: You may complete the extra credit for one movie only – you may not see two movies and expect to have more than two quiz grades raised. You may not see movies that are not listed below for extra credit. You may not have an extension of the due date for this opportunity.

The extra credit will be open only until Friday, May 13 when you must turn in the paper.
