Here are the guidelines for the 1<\/span>st<\/span> <\/span>option (\u2018<\/span>old style\u2019 research paper<\/span>):<\/span>
Description:<\/span>
A paper is a space in which, by looking at a text or a series of texts (in our case, one or more<\/span>
films), you explore issues addressed in class in deeper and more original ways within a frame<\/span>
that allows you to expand on the course\u2019s general and specific focuses. It is crucial for a good<\/span>
paper to have a strong thesis statement in the first paragraph. The<\/span> <\/span>expected engagement<\/span> <\/span>with the<\/span>
texts embraces narrative\/characters analysis and investigation of formal solutions as well as an<\/span>
assessment of the relevance of the texts. This overall critical take on the ideas and ways offered<\/span>
by the texts can only be supported by secondary sources which you are expected to actively<\/span>
dialogue with. The quality of a paper lies also in its style, language accuracy, organization, and<\/span>
presentation.<\/span>
You are addressing an informed reader, so it is not a good idea to summarize a film\u2019s plot. You<\/span>
can certainly briefly illustrate its main meaning or capture its message in a few words. Socio-<\/span>
historical contextualization is always useful to position the texts under analysis, while<\/span>
generalizations tend to weaken your argument.<\/span>
Please include a<\/span> <\/span>title<\/span> <\/span>in your paper: it functions as a hyper-concentrated argument as well as a<\/span>
grounding descriptor for the reader.<\/span>
Please note: You may want to include in your paper frames from the film you have under<\/span>
analysis (pictures\/frames will NOT be counted toward the required number of pages).<\/span>

Secondary Sources:<\/span>
Every student is required to quote and engage with at least 3 secondary sources. Engaging with a<\/span>
source means that you discuss the quote, comment and elaborate on it, and let me know why you<\/span>
agree or disagree with it by bringing in more examples from the movie or from other secondary<\/span>
sources. In-class readings are allowed.<\/span>
Guidelines:<\/span>
1.<\/span> <\/span>The paper must be 5 pages (reference page NOT included)<\/span>
2.<\/span> <\/span>The paper must be typed, double-spaced (1 inch margins, 12-point type\/normal-sized<\/span>
font, Times New Roman character).<\/span>
3.<\/span> <\/span>Please do not waste paper with a cover page. Simply start the paper with your name<\/span>
(only) and the title.<\/span>
4.<\/span> <\/span>Every student is required to quote and engage with at least 3 secondary sources. Readings<\/span>
assigned for class are allowed.<\/span>
5.<\/span> <\/span>All citations (articles, books, internet sites, an encyclopedia entry, a dictionary, a<\/span>
reference manual, etc.) must be identified within the text<\/span> <\/span>and<\/span> <\/span>by mentioning them in a<\/span>
bibliographical citation at the end of the paper.<\/span>
Example:<\/span> <\/span>As Casillo mentions: \u201cxxx\u201d (134)<\/span>
Bibliography:<\/span> <\/span>Casillo, Robert.<\/span> <\/span>Gangster Priest. The Italian American Cinema of<\/span>
Martin Scorsese<\/span>. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2006.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
