Instructions
Film responses are proofread and free of grammatical errors, they are not a summary of the film and should reference the authors of the readings using citations such as “According to Massey (1999)” as much as possible as opposed to relying on personal stories or opinion. You are required to engage all the readings assigned for that week with the film, meaning you must cite each reading at least twice in your response and connect them with the film.
Your film response can do All the following:
1. Address a theme or KEY word(s) that ties the week’s readings to the film.
2. Use a direct quote or passage from a reading(s) to illustrate a scene or story line in the film
that weaves together the readings for that week.

Formatting
• 400-500-word count, 1-3 paragraphs
• A quote from the reading cannot be included as part of the 400-word minimum.
• In any instance where you directly quote the reading(s), you must include a citation with the last name of the author of the quote and the page number of where you found the quote in the reading.
For example: (Rumbaut 10).
• There should not be a quote placed in a paragraph without any explanation as to why it is there. Set up your quote and weave it into your writing and/or provide a few sentences after the quote to explain how you are using it.
• Note: You do not need to include a bibliography or works cited at the end of the response.
