Humanities
Choose a play that has also been made into a movie or television series. If you have no prior knowledge, please research possibilities. Then create a PowerPoint (a minimum of 8 slides with at least two graphics) on the play/movie of your choice and include the following information:
- Background of the author and the time period he/she lived in
- Time period and setting for the play/movie
- Cast of characters
- Use of two of the vocabulary words from the chapters (7-9) to characterize the play/movie
- A brief summary of the plot of the play/movie
- Description of one specific scene from the play/movie which best illustrates the overall theme(s) of the play/movieYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
- Your opinion of the play/movie and your preference for either the play or movie and why
