    \n
  1. <\/span>Select a primary communication context<\/span> (e.g., <\/span>interpersonal communication.<\/span>) that is reflected in a particular film of your choosing.  Also, you will use several, <\/span>specific terms<\/span> (e.g., <\/span>self-disclosure, relational dialectics, stages of relational development, etc<\/span>.) that are related to your communication context.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. <\/span>Conduct scholarly research<\/span> in order to fully understand your chosen context.  In other words, you will find <\/span>three journal articles and use your textbook<\/span> to help you understand and apply course terms in your paper. You should include specific quotes from your journal articles to support your thesis. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. <\/span>Lastly, you will <\/span>define and explain the terms<\/span>, and <\/span>analyze<\/span> how they are presented in the film.  In addition, you will <\/span>cite your journal articles and your textbook<\/span> within your paper as evidence and support of your ideas. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. <\/span>You will submit your paper through the link to<\/span> Turnitin.com<\/span> that is posted for you in the assignment in Canvas.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Your main goal in this paper is to apply communication terms to <\/span><\/p>\n

    a film in order to demonstrate your understanding of these terms.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span>

    Introduction <\/span><\/p>\n

    \t<\/span><\/span>1.<\/span>\t<\/span><\/span>First paragraph<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. <\/span>Begin with a few <\/span>general statements<\/span> about ideas relevant to your paper, such as a few statements about <\/span>communication, relationships, conflict, public speaking, organizations, etc.<\/span>  Whatever your paper\u2019s topic, lead into it for the reader.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. <\/span>Indicate the <\/span>film<\/span> that you will analyze.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. <\/span>Next, clearly explain your goals for this paper.  In other words, what is this paper\u2019s <\/span>thesis<\/span>?  What is the <\/span>purpose<\/span> of this paper?  What will it accomplish? What will your paper explain and illustrate about the communication seen in this film?<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. <\/span>End your introduction with a preview of the <\/span>main points<\/span> of your paper.  Your main points will be the <\/span>terms<\/span> that you will apply and analyze in the film.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Body (For each paragraph in the Body, do these in this order):<\/span><\/p>\n

      <\/span>
      <\/p>\n

      1. Define and explain one or several terms that you have researched fully. Use your <\/span>textbook<\/span> for all definitions of key terms that you provide.  As you define your terms, be sure to <\/span>cite evidence (quote) from your textbook and your journal articles<\/span>.<\/span> Make sure to put all of your key terms in<\/span> bold<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. <\/span>Describe how the term is <\/span>demonstrated in your film<\/span>.  For example, here is where you explain how the characters in your film demonstrate \u201cdepth of self-disclosure,\u201d \u201cconflict,\u201d \u201cgroupthink,\u201d or some other term.  Be sure to provide examples from the film, and be sure to explain yourself fully.  This becomes your <\/span>analysis of their communication<\/span>.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. <\/span>Use a <\/span>transition<\/span> to move the reader to your next paragraph. Your transitions should help connect your main ideas together. <\/span><\/li>\n
      3. <\/span>Repeat<\/span> these steps until you have enough content to meet the assignment guidelines for  the page requirement.<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. <\/span>HINT<\/span>: Try organizing your paper chronologically to match the order of the film.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          1.  State the <\/span>thesis <\/span><\/strong>for your paper.   This should be one clear sentence that explains what your movie will illustrate about human communication. Make sure your thesis clearly reflects the communication context you’ve chosen to focus on (ex. interpersonal communication, group communication, organizational communication, etc.).  If you prefer, you may follow this with a second sentence that previews the key ideas your paper will address.  This is not required and it is possible to include a preview of main points in your primary thesis sentence if that is your preference.  See below for <\/span>samples<\/strong> <\/span>of strong thesis statements.  Also, the student workbook provides a variety of resources to help you with writing a thesis if you need additional support, including links to the Communication Lab tutor and the Writing Center. <\/p>\n
