This in-class exercise is not a group project, but you may ask for advice from your fellow group members. This exercise is worth three points toward the semester's total of 95 points. There will also be a question related to it on the final exam.

Using the article you brought to class (or, alternatively, ________________):

  1. Create your submission in Word, Google Docs or another word processor. It must include:
    1. A properly formatted citation of your article--using Chicago, MLA, or another style guide
      • In Chicago style, a journal article in a bibliography looks like this:
        • LastName, FirstName. article Title. LocationOfPublisher: NameOfPublisher, YearOfPublication.
        • For example: Mills, Brett. The Sitcom. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2009.
      • The Chicago Manual of Style is available online. Look for the "Bibliography entries" for articles on this Webpage.
    2. An outline of the article.
      • You may choose 10 pages from the article's introduction or its first chapter--whichever you find more interesting.
      • The outline should include at least one bullet point taken from each paragraph.
      • Bullet points do not have to be complete sentences.
    3. What did you learn from this reading?
      • Specifically, describe two things you learned about this director/genre from this reading that you did not know before.
    4. Save your submission somewhere you can find later.
  2. Submit your submission:
    1. Go to Blackboard, look in the "Tests and Assignments" folder and open the assignment titled, "In-class Exercise: Outlining a Journal Article."
    2. Choose "Browse My Computer" to find that file and then upload it.
    3. When finished, be sure to click the "Submit" button.
