JCM212/Outline a book
From Screenpedia
This in-class exercise is not a group project, but you may ask for advice from your fellow group members.
Using the book you brought to class (or, alternatively, Brett Mills's The Sitcom):
- Go to Blackboard, look in the "Tests and Assignments" folder for the assignment titled, "In-class Exercise: Outlining a Book."
- Click "Write Submission" to open a window where you may type your submission directly in Blackboard,
- Or you may write your submission elsewhere and choose "Browse My Computer" to find that file later and then upload it.
- Create your submission, which must include:
- A properly formatted citation of your book
- For example: Mills, Brett. The Sitcom (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2009).
- Your book's table of contents
- An outline of at least 10 pages from the beginning of the book.
- You may choose 10 pages from the book's introduction or its first chapter--whichever you find more interesting.
- A properly formatted citation of your book
Post-exercise free-time activities
