Class Work
1. Finish viewing An Inconvenient Truth. Go over the questions in class. Answer the questions and post the answers in MyCompLab.
2. Create a Plus/Minus chart to "review" the documentary. What was good? What should have been done differently?
3. Study the guidelines for writing reviews on pp. 273-282 in Write Now. Pay attention to the key terms defined on p. 274. These will serve to structure your review of An Inconvenient Truth.
Also see http://suite101.com/article/how-to-write-reviews-a50890 for writing tips.
In addition, consider the tips found at http://homeworktips.about.com/od/EssaysTypes/a/How-To-Write-A-Film-Review.htm
4. The draft of your review is due on Tuesday. Bring a paper copy or electronic copy to class. The draft will not be posted in MyCompLab.
5. Do you have a topic to research? If not, now is a great time to find a cause! Continue your research. On Tuesday, be ready to share your topic and a brief summary of your research to date. Remember, in the final paper, you will need to prove a problem exists, give the history and causes of the problem, note the effects, and end with a call to action.
