NOTE: This assignment should be kept for your senior portfolio for your Capstone Course for those of you that are Communication Majors. DO NOT misplace your work or it will have to be recreated in your Communication Capstone Course. Paper Organize your information in a clear, concise manner. The paper will include the following: Written in third person (This means avoid using “I” and “You”). Introduction that frames your paper with a general discussion of interpersonal relationships, narrowing to a specific focus on two-three interpersonal concepts that you apply to the relationship(s) in your film. Remember that your introduction needs to have a clear and identifiable thesis statement, an argument for a position you are advocating (i.e., these concepts are present in this film/relationship), and a preview of what the reader should expect in the rest of the paper. Brief paragraph that describes the film you are using and the relationship(s) you are focusing on in the film. Who are they? What is/are their relationship(s)? What’s the storyline? Basically, this paragraph should give me a general idea of what’s going on in both the film and the relationship. This should be a paragraph not an entire page. Body that applies and/or address the 2-3 interpersonal concepts that you are focusing on within the film. In each paragraph, you will need to describe how this concept is evident in the character’s relationship(s) and interactions. To do this, you will need to pull from both the film, i.d., specific examples or quotes from the characters that embody or reflect the interpersonal concept you are addressing. In addition, you will want to pull material from the book to define the concept and analyze it with your examples. Be sure to develop the argument adequately. State the concept and provide example(s), and Also talk about how this example represents the concept you’re discussing. (Hint: your paragraph may have this format – start with a clear topic sentence that defines the concept, provide examples from your film, and then analyze the examples with the concept). Conclusion that summarizes your argument and main points/ideas. 2-3 source citations from the text for each of your main points. This does not include the quotations from the film – those are separate. You may use direct quotes from the characters in the film or summarize the relational situation that proves your point. 2-3 Scholarly source citations – this is in addition to the text source citations above.
