1) the documentary film, \u201c<\/p>\n
From This Day Forward<\/p>\n
\u201d, by Sharon Shattuck, about her father\u2019s <\/p>\n
experience as a transgender person. The documentary is available on CD at the University Main <\/p>\n
Library (on reserve), and for streaming in this website <\/p>\n
https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/tulvid\/from-this-day-<\/p>\n
forward\/ (we obtained a special access to the fil for this class). It is also available from Amazon, <\/p>\n
iTunes and VHX (for a fee). <\/p>\n
2) The second documentary is <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson”<\/p>\n
, by David France, about <\/p>\n
a critical figure in the gay and transgender movements. It is available on Netflix. The instructions <\/p>\n
for writing this three-page paper are the same as for the first paper. Explain what you found <\/p>\n
interesting in the film you chose, making connections with class material, going straight to the <\/p>\n
point, and avoiding long descriptions, definitions or quotations. REMEMBER TO CITE YOUR <\/p>\n
SOURCES IF YOU USE ANY, otherwise it is plagiarism! Upload the paper on Canvas under <\/p>\n
<Assignments>. <\/p>\n
After watching one of these two films, write a three-page response (12-point font-Times New <\/p>\n
Roman, double-spaced). What aspects of the film caught your attention? Why? Most importantly, <\/p>\n
what aspects of the film can you relate to the topics we have read about and discussed in class (the <\/p>\n
construction of identity, class identity, social mobilization, race identity, gender identity, sexual <\/p>\n
orientation and identity, etc. and their intersections)? Given the page limitations, it is better for you <\/p>\n
to go straight to the point rather than devoting space to long introductions, descriptions, quotations <\/p>\n
or definitions. The purpose of the paper is to reflect and find connections with the course material <\/p>\n
(readings, discussions, presentations, etc.). Be sure to demonstrate that you watched the entire film <\/p>\n
and not just a portion of it. REMEMBER TO CITE YOUR SOURCES IF YOU USE ANY, <\/p>\n
otherwise it is plagiarism!<\/p>\n
When Grading the papers, I ask these questions<\/p>\n
:<\/p>\n
Does the paper demonstrate that the student watched the whole documentary and has done the <\/p>\n
readings?<\/p>\n
Does the paper show the ability of the student to think critically and apply the material learned in <\/p>\n
class to a specific case? <\/p>\n
Does the paper have a clear, arguable thesis?<\/p>\n
Is the paper organized and logically structured?<\/p>\n
Is the prose readable and appealing, and the paper well presented with no typos, repetitions or <\/p>\n
incomplete sentences?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
