Geology homework help. GUIDELINES FOR WRITING BONUS RESPONSE PAPERS
TO FILMS OR CULTURAL EVENTS
(1) Do not just retell the story. That is not what you should try to do in a response paper. You don’t even need to write a synopsis. What you should try to do is to write an essay about the major theme or themes in the movie or event.
(2) Use paragraphs. If you don’t, your paper will be very disorganized, even though you follow the story line, because you will simply run your ideas together in a jumble. Use headings if they would be useful to demarcate separate sections of your essay or emphasize your basic points.
(3) Proofread. Pay close attention to basics like grammar and punctuation.
(4) Relate to Anthropology. Try to bring anthropological concepts that you have learned in class into your discussion.
(5) Length Requirements. The minimum is one full page, double spaced, with 12 point font. Ordinarily, you will have to write more than one page in order to make solid points and cover the issues thoroughly.
(6) Total Bonus. You can write one response paper for an additional10 points at any time throughout the course.
